Overview

This book provides is a critical investigation into the discursive processes through which the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) reproduced a geopolitical order after the end of the Cold War and the demise of its constitutive enemy, the Soviet Union. Offering ontological as well as the epistemological perspective, this book explains what new security relevant identities and spaces were defined in NATO's discourse, as well as from what epistemic vantage point this new security political order was mapped and inscribed. Contributing to theoretical development within Critical Security Studies, Behnke draws on a variety of approaches to provide an analytical framework that draws out the political as well as philosophical problems associated with NATO's particular rendition of security and identity. The book will be of great interest to students and researchers of International Relations, Critical Security Studies and International Organizations.
