Contemporary conflicts are best understood as a social condition in which armed groups mobilise sectarian and fundamentalist sentiments and construct a predatory economy through which they enrich themselves at the expense of ordinary citizens. This volume provides a timely contribution to debates over the role of the EU on the global stage and its contribution to peace and security, at a time when these discussions are reinvigorated by the adoption of the EU Global Strategy. It discusses the significance of the Strategic Review and the Global Strategy for the re-articulation of EU conflict prevention, crisis management, peacebuilding, and development policies in the next few years. It also addresses the key issues facing EU security in the 21st century, including the conflicts in Ukraine, Libya and Syria, border security, cyber-security and the role of the private security sector. The book concludes by proposing that the EU adopts a second-generation human security approach to conflicts, as an alternative to geopolitics or the ‘War on Terror’, taking forward the principles of human security and adapting them to 21st-century realities.     This book will be of interest to students of human security, European foreign and security policy, peace and conflict studies, global governance and IR in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51110622855441,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51110625116433,"sku":"NIN9780367591465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52477508354321,"sku":"NLS9780367591465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0367591464.jpg?v=1751228271"},{"product_id":"human-security-and-international-law-book-emma-mcclean-9780415678513","title":"Human Security and International Law","description":"This book evaluates how far the UN has embraced human security as a policy agenda and explores its relevance for international law.     The extent to which the UN has embraced human security as a viable policy agenda has implications and consequences for international law, such as the challenge to basal precepts including the principle of non-intervention. Equally, determining the relevance of human security for international law speaks to the extent to which the UN operates as a norm giver and, ultimately, a law-giver in the international landscape. Thus, the study is situated within a broader assessment of the interaction between the UN and international law. Drawing on International Relations theories, especially critical security studies, and on trends in international law and constitutionalism, amongst others, the book addresses the following questions:                the contribution of the UN to the development of the idea of human security;          the extent to which, if at all, the UN has translated human security into practice;          whether the UN is an appropriate forum for pursuing a human security policy agenda;          whether human security is expressed in international law and, if so, what prospects and challenges face human security in such an environment.    There is a clear dissonance between the rhetoric and reality of human security as seen by the fact that as the UN endorsed human security at the 2005 World Summit, the African Union was convening the sixth round of peace talks on the crisis in Darfur. The disjuncture between word and deed exposes a fundamental question as to the role of the UN and law in the international landscape. In short, the book resides at the intersection between idealism and realism and ultimately offers a prognosis of the capacity of the UN - normative, including international law, operational and institutional - to pursue a human security policy agenda.     This interdisciplinary book will be of much interest to students of human security, international law, critical security, human rights and IR in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51201306788113,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51201310228753,"sku":"NGR9780415678513","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/041567851X.jpg?v=1750740636"},{"product_id":"climate-change-policy-and-security-book-donald-wallace-9780367457709","title":"Climate Change, Policy and Security","description":"This book examines the multiple strategies proposed by the international community for addressing global climate change (GCC) from both human and state-security perspectives.  It examines what is needed from major states working within the UN framework to engage with the multiple dimensions of a strategy that addresses GCC and its impacts, where such engagement promotes both human and state security. Two broad frameworks for approaching these issues provide the basis of discussion for the individual chapters, which discuss the strategies being undertaken by major state powers (the US, the EU, China, India, Japan, and Russia). The first framework considers the multiple strategies, mitigation, adaptation, and capacity-building required of the international community to address the effects of GCC. The second framework considers the differentiation of GCC policies in terms of security and how the efficacy of these strategies could be impacted by whether priority is given to state security over human security concerns.

It engages with a well-established debate in academic and policy-making contexts regarding the utility of human security as a framework for understanding and redressing conflict. The book argues that this concept allows the possibility of articulating the substantive experiences of violence and marginalisation experienced by people in local settings as well as their own struggles towards a secure and happy life. In this regard, it goes a long way to making sense of the complex dynamics of conflict which have confounded Western policy-makers in their ongoing state-building mission in Afghanistan. However, despite this inherent potential, the idea of human security still needs refinement. Crucially, it has benefitted from critical feminist and critical social theories which provide the conceptual and methodological depth necessary to apprehend what a progressive ethical program of security looks like and how it can be furthered. Using this framework, the work provides a critical reconstruction of the effect of the US-led Western Intervention on women’s experiences of (in)security in the three provincial contexts of Nangarhar, Bamiyan and Kabul. This reconstruction is drawn from a wealth of historical and contemporary sociological research alongside original fieldwork undertaken in Delhi, India, during 2011 with women and men from the country’s different communities.   This book will be of much interest to students of human security, state-building, gender politics, war and conflict studies and IR in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52486506709265,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52486508216593,"sku":"NLS9781138640641","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138640641.jpg?v=1759859354"},{"product_id":"european-union-and-human-security-book-mary-martin-9780415498722","title":"The European Union and Human Security","description":"This edited book examines European external interventions in human security, in order to illustrate the evolution and nature of the European Union as a global political actor.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52493350600977,"sku":"NLS9780415498722","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53013866807569,"sku":"NIN9780415498722","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415498722.jpg?v=1759966800"},{"product_id":"european-union-and-human-security-book-mary-martin-9780415691543","title":"The European Union and Human Security","description":"This edited book examines European external interventions in human security, in order to illustrate the evolution and nature of the European Union as a global political actor.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522132766993,"sku":"NLS9780415691543","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415691543.jpg?v=1760575199"},{"product_id":"human-security-changing-states-and-global-responses-book-sangmin-bae-9781138803893","title":"Human Security, Changing States and Global Responses","description":"This book critically assesses the human security challenges faced by states, focusing on how and to what extent the state is influenced by global structures and operations.  Having grown rapidly since the 1990s, the field of human security has spawned a wide variety of academic research. This research has helped to reconceptualize the notion of security, both broadening and deepening it, and it has created a space where unconventional and multidimensional forms of security inform international policy practices. However, while various issues and cases of human security have received growing academic attention and policy interest, many of the existing books on human security focus primarily on non-state actors. This leaves a key question unanswered: why do sovereign states take on leadership roles in promoting human security?  To answer the question of why and how national governments influence international human security policy, this volume examines the domestic political factors and structures that mediate the range of policy choices. Important domestic variables include the ‘cultural match’ (e.g., ‘Does the country often favor multilateralism and promote a rule-bound international society?’), the nature of the political interests and realities that are present (e.g., ‘Does the country see the promotion of human security as a strategic choice?’), and the occurrence of important historical events such as wars, revolutions, or natural disasters (e.g., ‘Does the country, during the crisis, help to foster a new way of managing enduring security threats?’). Using this line of analysis, the book illuminates the role of the state in handling critical human security issues and its rationale for doing so.   This book will be of much interest to students of human security, peace studies, global governance, development studies and IR in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52619988173073,"sku":"NLS9781138803893","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53036131418385,"sku":"NIN9781138803893","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138803893.jpg?v=1761537355"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/routledge-studies-in-human-security-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
