Globalization and Human Security

Informationen zum Autor Joseph M. Siracusa is professor of political history and international diplomacy at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, and president emeritus of Australia’s Council of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Klappentext This concise text presents a focused, well-rounded, and clear-eyed introduction to the concept of human security. Questioning the utility of traditional national-security frameworks in the post–Cold War era, Paul Battersby and Joseph M. Siracusa argue that we must urgently reconsider the principle of state sovereignty in a global world where threats to humanity are beyond the capacity of any one nation to address through unilateral action. A welcome alternative to state-centric approaches to security, this balanced book will be a valuable supplement for courses in international and national security.
