Overview

Distributed outside the European Union by Cornell University Press for the Catholic University of Milan Press/Vita e Pensiero The West-Europe, the United States and Canada, Australia and New Zealand-has long been a primary producer of security (for itself) and of insecurity (for itself and for others). Western discourse not only invented the term security but also expanded and reshaped it according to its own complex evolution. The goals of this volume are to analyze the evolution of the contested concept of security and to discuss how the concept of security has emerged as a Western social enterprise. The contributors to Security in the West address how Western conceptions of security have developed and changed since the end of the Cold War, the nature of new security challenges and their implications for the West, and the direction in which evolving concepts of security will lead the West and the entire global community. This book will be welcomed by scholars and practitioners of international security and international relations. Contributors: Fabio Armao; Steve Blank; Fabrizio Coticchia; Johan Eriksson; Matthew Evangelista; Federica Ferrari; Giampiero Giacomello; Christopher Jones; Andrea Locatelli; R. Craig Nation; Niklas Schronig; Francesco Strazzari; Simone Tholens
