"A must read." Journal of Peace Research "A thorough, accessible, distinct and refreshingly new account of how we should understand the field of critical security studies." International Studies Review "A very readable and brilliant introduction to international security in a narrow sense, and to ideational IR theories in a wider context." Political Studies Review "The book aims predominantly to function as a teaching resource in the International Relations undergraduate and early postgraduate market place but would also be useful to teachers and students within Sociology who are engaging with questions of war, security and terror. Indeed its strength lies in its aim to render accessible exactly to this market a realm of discourse that is currently geared towards the research community at large." British Journal of Sociology "A stimulating and refreshing examination of different dimensions of contemporary debates about security and security studies." Keith Krause, Graduate Institute of International Studies "A remarkable achievement, broader, yet more theoretically integrated than most of the leading works on critical security studies. The worked examples of the gendering of war, the War on Terrorism, the securitization of Hurricane Katrina, the end of the Cold War, the outbreak of war in Bosnia, and the trauma-induced reproduction of insecurities more generally will attract students and researchers on both sides of the Atlantic." Hayward R. Alker, University of Southern California and Brown University
