This Handbook will serve as a standard reference guide to the
subject of human security, which has grown greatly in importance
over the past twenty years. Human security has been part of
academic and policy discourses since it was first promoted by the
UNDP in its 1994 Human Development Report. Filling a clear gap in
the current literature, this volume brings together some of the key
scholars and policy-makers who have contributed to its emergence as
a mainstream concept, including Nobel prize winner Amartya Sen and
Sadako Ogata, who jointly chaired the 2001 Commission on Human
Security. Drawing upon a range of theoretical and empirical
analyses, the Handbook provides examples of the use of human
security in policies as diverse as disaster management, arms
control and counter-terrorism, and in different geographic and
institutional settings from Asia to Africa, and the UN. It also
raises important questions about how the concept might be adapted
and operationalised in future. Over the course of the book, the
authors draw on three key aspects of human security thinking:
Theoretical issues to do with defining human security as a specific
discourse Human security from a policy and institutional
perspective, and how it is operationalised in different policy and
geographic contexts Case studies and empirical work Featuring some
of the leading scholars in the field, the Routledge Handbook of
Human Security will be essential reading for all students of human
security, critical security, conflict and development, peace and
conflict studies, and of great interest to students of
international security and IR in general.

This is the last of the late Vincent Taylor's many notable
contributions to NT scholarship and in particular to the
controversy about the sources of St Luke's gospel. Taylor defends
and develops the arguments in favour of a non-Markan basis for Luke
which he first presented in 1926 in Behind the Third Gospel. He
answers critics of that book by a detailed study of the Passion
Narrative and concludes that St Luke used, in this part of his
gospel at least, a special source, an authority which was as old as
Mark but independent of it and which preserved accounts of the
death and resurrection of Jesus given by the first Christians. The
work has been edited and prepared for publication by a former pupil
of Vincent Taylor's, the Rev. Owen E. Evans. It should interest all
specialists in NT studies as the last research of a distinguished
scholar on a problem of continuing importance.
Edward Snowden's release of classified NSA documents exposed the
widespread government practice of mass surveillance in a democratic
society. The publication of these documents, facilitated by three
journalists, as well as efforts to criminalize the act of being a
whistleblower or source, signaled a new era in the coverage of
national security reporting. The contributors to Journalism After
Snowden analyze the implications of the Snowden affair for
journalism and the future role of the profession as a watchdog for
the public good. Integrating discussions of media, law,
surveillance, technology, and national security, the book offers a
timely and much-needed assessment of the promises and perils for
journalism in the digital age. Journalism After Snowden is
essential reading for citizens, journalists, and academics in
search of perspective on the need for and threats to investigative
journalism in an age of heightened surveillance. The book features
contributions from key players involved in the reporting of leaks
of classified information by Edward Snowden, including Alan
Rusbridger, former editor-in-chief of The Guardian; ex-New York
Times executive editor Jill Abramson; legal scholar and journalist
Glenn Greenwald; and Snowden himself. Other contributors include
dean of Columbia Graduate School of Journalism Steve Coll, Internet
and society scholar Clay Shirky, legal scholar Cass Sunstein, and
journalist Julia Angwin. Topics discussed include protecting
sources, digital security practices, the legal rights of
journalists, access to classified data, interpreting journalistic
privilege in the digital age, and understanding the impact of the
Internet and telecommunications policy on journalism. The
anthology's interdisciplinary nature provides a comprehensive
overview and understanding of how society can protect the press and
ensure the free flow of information.
Anonymous. WikiLeaks. The Syrian Electronic Army. Edward Snowden.
Bitcoin. The Arab Spring. Five years ago, these terms were
meaningless to the vast majority of people in the world. Today,
they and many like them dominate the news and keep policymakers,
security experts, and military and intelligence officials up at
night. These groups and individuals are enabled and empowered by
digital technology to confound and provoke the state in a way not
possible before the Internet revolution. They are representative of
a wide range of 21st century global actors and a new form of 21st
century power: disruptive power. In Disruptive Power, Taylor Owen
provides a sweeping look at the way that digital technologies are
shaking up the workings of the institutions that have traditionally
controlled international affairs: humanitarianism, diplomacy, war,
journalism, activism, and finance. The traditional nation state
system and the subsequent multinational system were founded on and
have long functioned through a concentration of power in the state,
through the military, currency controls, foreign policy, the rule
of law, and so on. In this book, Owen argues that in every aspect
of international affairs, the digitally enabled are changing the
way the world works and disrupting the institutions that once held
a monopoly on power. Each chapter of Owen's book looks at a
different aspect of international affairs, profiling the disruptive
innovators and demonstrating how they are challenging existing
power structures for good and ill. Owen considers what constitutes
successful online international action, what sorts of technologies
are being used as well as what these technologies might look like a
decade from now, and what new institutions will be needed to
moderate the new power structures and ensure accountability. With
cutting edge analysis of the fast-changing relationship between the
declining state and increasingly powerful non-state actors,
Disruptive Power is the essential road map for navigating a
networked world.
The need for an ambitious and forward-looking Canadian
international strategy has never been greater. The worldwide
changes that jeopardize Canadian security and prosperity are
profound, ranging from the globalization of commerce, crime, and
political extremism to the impact of climate change on the economy
and environment. The reaction from Canada's policymakers, at least
so far, has been underwhelming. In The World Won't Wait, some of
Canada's brightest thinkers respond. Covering both classic foreign
policy issues such as international security, human rights, and
global institutions and emerging issues like internet governance,
climate change, and sustainable development, their essays offer
fresh and provocative responses to today's challenges and
opportunities. The proposals are striking and the contributors
diverse: Toronto's chief city planner makes the case that Canada
needs a global urban agenda, while a prominent mining executive
explains how to revitalize the country's position as a world leader
in the sector. Their essays are sure to spark the kind of debate
that Canada requires if its international policy is to evolve into
the twenty-first century.
