Security Studies Today offers a rich comprehensive
discussion of post-Cold War security agendas: it presents a variety
of theoretical traditions form realism to feminism as well as
outlining some new security issues. The book us unique in its
recognition of a wide spectrum of theoretical approaches from
conventional to post-positivist. Going well beyond realism’s
focus on the security of the state, Security Studies Today is an
important text for students seeking to understand the multiple
security challenges facing individuals and their environment at the
beginning of the twenty-first century.’ -- Judith Ann
Tickner, School of International Relations, University of
Southern California
‘A most rigorous and systemic introduction to the contemporary debates in the field of international security studies. It is eminently readable and accessible for undergraduate and postgraduate students alike. It delivers a balanced and careful analysis of contemporary approaches to security but does so in a manner which conveys a real sense of the on-going renaissance in the academic study of security.’ -- Anthony McGrew, Professor of International Relations, University of Southampton<!--end-->
