How are cultural identities, values and traditions challenged,
appropriated and negotiated? What does 'being secure' mean? Is
'soft power' merely a continuation of imperialism? The Handbook of
Cultural Security heightens our awareness of the interplay between
'culture' and 'society' in the age of globalization, and explores
the emerging concept of cultural security. With chapters from
leading experts providing case studies from across the world this
timely and unique Handbook examines the relationship between
society, culture, and security in a globalizing world. Providing a
diverse examination of the topic, the contributors emphasise the
role of 'non traditional' security and seek to define what 'being
secure' means across a broad number of contexts. Chapters cover
topics ranging from the politics of radical Islam, the global
spread of gated communities, and cultures of security and
surveillance to discussions of the concept soft power; the forms it
takes, and the impacts of 'exporting' culture. This Handbook
provides a platform for future debate in both academic and policy
fields, and as such will be of interest for both students of public
and social policy, international relations, and politics, as well
as those engaged in shaping policy in these areas. Contributors
