Reviews

'The ethics of security represent one of the crucial issues of our time. This sophisticated, challenging and wide-ranging collection demonstrates the theoretical challenges and practical value of placing ethical questions at the center of security, as well as the pressing need to do so. Through a critical and pluralistic interrogation of complex contemporary relationships, it represents a powerful call for ethical security studies.' -- Michael C. Williams, University of Ottawa, Canada 'Ethical Security Studies develops an ambitious and multi-faceted discussion of the heterogeneous intersections between discursive formations of security and ethics. The contributions challenge us to take seriously a range of perspectives, from anti-security and posthuman security to emancipatory security or security cosmopolitanism. The book will reinvigorate debates about the analytical and political concepts deployed in critical security studies.' -- Claudia Aradau, King's College London, UK 'Within this powerful collection, Nyman and Burke reorient security studies back to its core ethical reasoning and set out a bold new mode for engagement.' -- Mark B. Salter, University of Ottawa, Canada
