Industry Reviews
Global Security lives up to its title. It is a remarkably wide-ranging collection that comprehensively surveys theories of security, from the classical canon to the latest approaches. It explores both the traditional issues of great power and nuclear security and the most pressing challenges to the planet revealed by virulent pandemics, stressed environments and disruptive technologies. This a most welcome introduction to dangers of our times.
--Michael Doyle, Columbia UniversityFor those seeking a comprehensive and erudite examination of the expanding range of global security approaches, issues and challenges confronting societies in the 2020s, look no further than this volume. Combining both traditional and critical approaches and a diverse range of voices, this volume shows that the global coronavirus pandemic is not only a significant new challenge in an already crowded security agenda. The weak collective response to the pandemic has also exposed the structural injustices and frailties of the contemporary global order.
--Robyn Eckersley, University of MelbourneThis collection offers a fresh and inclusive look at global security challenges, featuring insightful analytical and empirical investigations written from diverse critical and traditional vantage points. The contributions are essential reading for those trying to track and understand the trajectories of diverse global security issues.
--Ingvild Bode, Centre for War Studies, University of Southern DenmarkThis impressive collection is a timely re-examination of key global security challenges. It is a thoughtful, clear, comprehensive and highly engaging analysis of contemporary trends, issues and approaches to everyday and international security. With its accomplished and exciting list of contributors and topics, this volume is essential reading for every student and practitioner working in the fields of peace, conflict and security, and for anyone seeking to better understand today's complex security environment.
