In a world, where threats know no borders, this excellent book requires us to be more creative and expansive in thinking about our securityIt also points to a critical need for governments and societies to be more agile and innovative in meeting these challenges. -- Jami Miscik, former Deputy Director for Intelligence, CIA
This new edition is an insightful and brilliant analysis of what is now called ‘the new security agenda.’ Professors Caldwell and Williams provide a thoughtful, stimulating, clearly written, and fully up to date assessment of the wide range and interconnectedness of new threats in our world today. Their treatment of the indivisibility of security and the changing meaning of security in historical and contemporary settings from a broad global perspective is nothing short of superb. I highly recommend this excellent book to anyone interested in international relations, foreign policy, and security and peace studies. -- Paul Gordon Lauren, Regents Professor Emeritus and Distinguished Mansfield Fellow, University of Montana
