This volume argues that contemporary political and security
revisionism should not be considered a homogenous attack against
the international order but rather a bag of tailor-made strategies
to exploit opportunities found in various, highly localised
contexts. Scholars with backgrounds in Security Studies, Area
Studies, International Relations and Political Theory are brought
to examine revisionist tendencies in Central Eastern Europe,
Post-Soviet Space, China and the Transatlantic Space. In doing so,
they try to remedy the existing disciplinary separatism, or
'policing', which has obfuscated any theorisation of the
connections between international and domestic politics for many
decades. Part of the analytical focus is on novel phenomena,
especially the utilization of cyberspace and new social media and
technological innovation. One of the conclusions of this volume is
that the rise in contemporary revisionism shows the oft-forgotten
importance of the first image of international politics: political
leaders, in other words, do indeed matter. The fact that they
matter is only reinforced when they represent regional or even
great powers, and especially revisionist regimes and states with
the propensity to produce complex effects. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue of the journal
Europe-Asia Studies.
This edited collection presents an innovative approach to global
security regimes. Employing both conceptual and empirical studies,
the volume examines three empirically-oriented sets of cases:
weapons of mass destruction, humanitarian disarmament and
unconventional threats. The book combines interrogations of the
most prominent prohibition/regulatory regimes while covering WMDs,
humanitarian issues and other agendas such as drugs, endangered
species and cyber security. It will be of interest to academics and
researchers in International Relations and Security Studies.
