Contemporary security has expanded its meaning, content and
structure in response to globalisation and the emergence of greatly
improved world-wide communication. The protocols of modern warfare,
including targeted killing, enhanced interrogations, mass
electronic surveillance and the virtualisation of war have changed
the moral landscape and brought diverse new interactions with
politics, law, religion, ethics and technology. This book addresses
how and why the nature of security has changed and what this means
for the security actors involved and the wider society. Offering a
crossdisciplinary perspective on concepts, meanings and categories
of security, the book brings together scholars and experts from a
range of disciplines including political, military studies and
security studies, political economy and international relations.
Contributors reflect upon new communication methods, postmodern
concepts of warfare, technological determinants and cultural
preferences to provide new theoretical and analytical insights into
a changing security environment and the protocols of war in the
21st century. A useful text for scholars and students of security
studies, international relations, global governance, international
law and ethics, foreign policy, comparative studies and
contemporary world history.
This handbook provides a comprehensive, problem-driven and dynamic
overview of the future of warfare. The volatilities and
uncertainties of the global security environment raise timely and
important questions about the future of humanity’s oldest
occupation: war. This volume addresses these questions through a
collection of cutting-edge contributions by leading scholars in the
field. Its overall focus is prognostic rather than futuristic,
highlighting discernible trends, key developments and themes
without downplaying the lessons from the past. By making the past
meet the present in order to envision the future, the handbook
offers a diversified outlook on the future of warfare, which will
be indispensable for researchers, students and military
practitioners alike. The volume is divided into six thematic
sections. Section I draws out general trends in the phenomenon of
war and sketches the most significant developments, from the past
to the present and into the future. Section II looks at the areas
and domains which actively shape the future of warfare. Section III
engages with the main theories and conceptions of warfare,
capturing those attributes of contemporary conflicts which will
most likely persist and determine the dynamics and directions of
their transformations. The fourth section addresses differentiation
and complexity in the domain of warfare, pointing to those factors
which will exert a strong impact on the structure and properties of
that domain. Section V focuses on technology as the principal
trigger of changes and alterations in the essence of warfare. The
final section draws on the general trends identified in Section I
and sheds light on how those trends have manifested in specific
local contexts. This section zooms in on particular geographies
which are seen and anticipated as hotbeds where future warfare will
most likely assume its shape and reveal its true colours. This book
will be of great interest to students of strategic studies, defence
studies, war and technology, and International Relations.

This book focuses on current key issues of international security
from an actor-centered approach. The volume is divided into 3
sections: the first part analyses an array of security issues in
Europe, the second one explores how those security issues play out
in the Americas, and the third focuses on Africa. Each of the
chapter authors outlines the relevant ideas, interests and
institutions. The volume provides an overview of how global,
regional, and national actors, differ in their management
approaches, capacity levels, and how these differences translate
into cross-regional cooperation on security issues.

This book investigates the emergence of an EU strategic
intelligence community as a complex multi-dimensional networked
construction. It examines the constitution, structure and
performance of EU intelligence arrangements as part of security
policies of the European Union. Intelligence security has become a
remarkable feature of the European integration processes. This
study assess the ability of EU Member States, as well as relevant
institutions and agencies, to develop effective, legitimate and
accountable institutions and mechanisms for collection,
transmission, processing and exchange of intelligence. In this
regard, synergy is a key indicator that validates the ability to
create the European strategic intelligence community in the EU's
legal and institutional framework. This groundbreaking project
constructs a comprehensive model of the intelligence community as a
distorted epistemic community tailored to singularities of EU
security policies and systemic arrangements provided by EU
institutions and agencies.
