The Culture of National Security by Peter Katzenstein
Contributors ask whether it is more useful to conceive of the world as arrayed in regional, cultural, institutional complexes or organized along the conventional dimensions of power, alliance, and geography. They argue that perspectives that neglect the roles of culture and identity are no longer adequate to explain the complexities of a world undergoing rapid change.
Beyond the substantive contributions of the individual authors and the extensive debate about the nature and the advantages and disadvantages of fully integrating ideational scholarship into the study of world politics,The Culture of National Security should interest comparativists as a broad and ambitious attempt to apply the insights and tools of sociological and constructivist scholarship to the analysis of concrete political questions.. -- Sheri Berman Comparative Politics Historians, policy-makers and analysts of contemporary affairs will find much food for thought here. -- James Jay Carafano, Georgetown University H-Net Reviews
Peter J. Katzenstein is the Walter S. Carpenter, Jr. Professor of International Studies at Cornell University.
