This book aims to engage with contemporary security discourses from
a critical perspective. It argues that rather than being a radical,
analytical outlook, much critical security theory fails to fulfil
its promise to pose a challenge to contemporary power relations. In
general, 'critical security' theories and dialogues are understood
to be progressive theoretical frameworks that offer a trenchant
evaluation and analysis of contemporary international and national
security policy. Tara McCormack investigates the limitations of
contemporary critical and emancipatory theorising and its
relationship with contemporary power structures. Beginning with a
theoretical critique and moving into a case study of the critical
approaches to the break up of the former Yugoslavia, this book
assesses the policies adopted by the international community at the
time to show that much contemporary critical security theory and
discourse in fact mirrors shifts in post-Cold War international and
national security policy. Far from challenging international power
inequalities and offering an emancipatory framework, contemporary
critical security theory inadvertently ends up serving as a
theoretical justification for an unequal international order. This
book will be of much interest to students of critical security
studies, international relations and security studies. Tara
McCormack is Lecturer in International Politics at the University
of Leicester and has a PhD in International Relations from the
University of Westminster.
