This textbook introduces students to the study of contemporary international security.
Key theories and concepts are presented in the introductory chapters, and applied to the case-studies and empirical examples in subsequent chapters. The book's strong empirical dimension allows it to illustrate contemporary international security problems and issues in a clear and accessible way. It also contains student-friendly pedagogical features such as text boxes, key points, further reading and student questions.
The book will be essential reading for upper-level students of international or global security studies, and recommended reading for students of strategic studies, war and conflict studies, terrorism studies and IR in general.
