"This is not only one of the three best books in international
political economy in the last ten years, it is one of the most
important recent books in the entire field of international
relations. Brooks integrates security studies and international
political economy with skill and wisdom. Focusing sharply on the
globalization of production, the author explores its implications
for national security, international politics, and international
economic relations. In addition, he links the discussion to various
theories of international relations."--David Baldwin, Princeton
University
"Stephen Brooks has quickly emerged as an original and
persuasive voice among international security experts. One reason
for this rapid ascent is his sophisticated understanding of
international economics and its effects on global politics. This
remarkable book breaks outside the confines of the longstanding
does-trade-promote-peace? debate to explore the impact of the rise
of multinational firms on security affairs--arguably the most
important facet of contemporary globalization. Brooks comes to
powerful and provocative conclusions about the end of the cold war,
great power stability, and security relations among developing
countries. Scholars and policymakers alike will be influenced by
Brooks' approach and will have to contend with his arguments for
years to come."--Geoffrey Garrett, University of California,
Berkeley
"Brooks has produced a significant and well-crafted book that
addresses an age-old debate in international relations and succeeds
in saying something new."--G. John Ikenberry, Princeton
University
"A path-breaking work on the globalization of production and
international conflict.While other writers have been content to
manipulate the black boxes of trade and conflict or international
production and conflict, Brooks has opened up the boxes and looked
inside."--Richard Rosecrance, University of California, Los
Angeles
""Producing Security" will transform how we understand the
age-old question of the impact of international commerce on
international security and war. Brooks argues persuasively that the
globalization of production is the key feature of the current
international economy and, therefore, the traditional focus on
international trade is outdated. Brooks then develops a
comprehensive theory of how the globalization of production could
influence security, exploring whether states can still maintain
autarkic security policies and whether the economic benefits of
expansion have been reduced. His conclusions, supported by thorough
empirical analysis, are optimistic--the globalization of production
is a force for stability among the great powers."--Charles Glaser,
University of Chicago
