Security

'The excellent essays in this timely volume offer many key contributions to the emerging discussion of interdisciplinary security studies. By drawing on a wide diversity of current scholarly perspectives, the numerous valuable insights in these chapters move the conversation on this essential political concept ahead rapidly.' Simon Dalby, Balsillie School of International Affairs, Wilfrid Laurier University, Ontario
'The ubiquity of 'security' in public debates and throughout the social sciences makes this volume timely and essential reading for anyone wanting to look beyond narrow or conventional scholarly horizons. It is a unique and outstanding effort to communicate across disciplines.' Keith Krause, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva
'This volume's common core questions addressed from each perspective provide just the right touch of thematic unity so the contributors are not simply talking past one another, but rather provide productive points of comparison that will be of great use for scholars and graduate students alike as a reference and also jumping off point for their own research. A fresh and timely contribution to help us all think in a sophisticated way through the flux of contemporary global security.' Richard Price, University of British Columbia
'Bourbeau assembles an impressive array of distinguished contributors from around the world. Together, they illustrate the remarkable breadth of disciplines investigating security, including philosophy, anthropology, geography, sociology, international relations, psychology, international political economy, criminology, and international law, among others. The work should prove useful for students and scholars of security across these disciplines.' W. A. Taylor, Choice
