Political Studies Review
"Where this book is strong is on the concepts underlying
international security concerns, particularly as viewed through the
national security or military prism. This is Robinson's background
and specialism and it is here that he excels."
Reference Reviews
"Here is a great reference volume that puts authoritative and
clearly written definitions for a wide array of terms in the
international security studies field readily into the hands of
graduate and undergraduate students. This dictionary will be an
invaluable tool for navigating the most important conceptual
landmarks in the international security studies literature."
Richard L. Russell, Georgetown University and National
Defense University
"Writings on international security tend to be dense, not merely
with one set of specialist terms, but with many. As one reads about
this topic, one encounters scholarly concepts, diplomatic
euphemisms, journalistic catch-phrases and the acronym-laden
language of contemporary armed forces. Robinson's comprehensive and
highly informative dictionary explains these various terminologies
in plain English, providing an invaluable guide to works on the
subject of international security and alerting even the most
experienced readers to the full meanings of terms in this
field."
Thomas M. Kane, University of Hull
