In the past, happiness studies has been dominated by the work of
philosophers, economists and psychologists, but more recently there
has been a growing interest from social scientist into the natures
of happiness and wellbeing. This original collection draws on the
latest empirical research to explore the practical challenges
facing happiness researchers today, such as how to conduct
happiness research in different cultural contexts, how to theorise
wellbeing or how to operationalise definitions of happiness in
qualitative and biographical research. By uniquely combining the
critical approach of sociology with techniques from other
disciplines, the contributors illuminate new approaches to the
study of happiness and well-being.

This book offers a new look at international security management
combining practical applications and theoretical foundations for
new solutions to today's complex security and safety challenges.
The book's focus on safety as a positive experience complements the
traditional approach to safety as risks and threats. In addition,
its multi-stakeholder, multi-disciplinary, international and
evidence-based approach provides holistic and timely insights for
the field. Topics raised in this book focus on the crucial
questions of: Who is safety actually for? (and) How can sustainable
safety solutions be jointly created? This book provides
comprehensive insights into the latest research findings, practical
applications and suggestions for dealing with challenges in
international security management in integrated and sustainable
ways, making it relevant reading for practitioners, as well as
academics and students - with a view to obtaining thorough,
first-hand knowledge from serving experts in the field. We explore
new ways of working with citizens, police and policymakers in order
to co-create safety. This book emphasises the importance of safety
as a topic that matters for all. "Safety and security are basic
pillars for the development of our society. However, the number of
areas, actors and procedures involved in the management of the
different elements composing the international security eco-system,
its coordination and alignment, make it a challenging issue to
resolve. This book provides a fresh new approach to this complex
issue, in which we all have a role to play." Fernando Ruiz, Acting
Head of European Cyber-Crime Centre - Europol "A very timely
analysis that brings a much-needed international perspective to the
field of security management. The authors explore the challenges
confronting security management in a complex and connected world
and generate new ideas to support practice and inspire research."
Professor Mark Griffin; John Curtin Distinguished Professor, Curtin
University; Director, Future of Work Institute "This book presents
the role of International Security Management in the 21st century
in an innovative way." Dr. Christian Endress, Managing Director,
ASW Bundesverband - German Association for Security in Industry and
