Table of ContentsReviewsThis book is a timely, highly relevant, multifaceted and most interesting contribution to the thinking on international security and globalisation. The key argument of the book that security can, in a globalised world, only be achieved through increased international cooperation at every level, including the cultural one, is pertinent. Security has ceased to be a zero sum game. It is an objective we have to work towards jointly. -- Ambassador Dr Theodor H Winkler, Director, Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces, Geneva, Switzerland In becoming a household name (and often a whipping-boy), the idea of globalization has risked losing some of its focus and diagnostic force. This book faces up to the challenge of defining it and explores its many implications, with a linking theme of multi-dimensional security. It adds up to a versatile reader that also leaves questions open for further thought. -- Alyson J K Bailes, Director, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Stockholm, Sweden This diverse and rich collection of essays explores the complex links between globalisation and contemporary security issues. It advances our understanding on a range of issues, and provides useful snapshots of key environmental, economic, political and geostrategic risks, challenges and vulnerabilities. -- Dr Keith Krause, Director, Programme in Strategic and International Security Studies, Graduate Institute of International Studies and Programme Director, Small Arms Survey, Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva, Switzerland Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
