Dictionary of International Security (0745640281) cover image
Other Available Formats: Hardcover

"An impressive book which would be useful both to a student beginning their academic career or an expert looking for a concise definition of a complex and difficult-to-determine concept."
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
