Reviews

"The focus on globalization and human security sets this book apart from the more traditional textbooks. Well written and easy to follow, the book uniquely sets out the security problem in each section, presents the approaches and policies the United States has implemented, and offers important suggestions for improvement."
--Mary Pettenger, Western Oregon University "Although the book is designed as a text for those with an interest in the study of international and national security, it provides the reader with a brilliantly poignant understanding of the concepts underpinning human security ... This work will be invaluable to any student, policy maker, or those who teach and advise on matters of human security at the global level."
--Parameters: US Army War College Quarterly "Reveron (Naval War College) and Mahoney-Norris (Air Command and Staff College) have written a compelling textbook on the need to consider human security in an increasingly globalized world ...The authors' strong backgrounds in national security lend great credibility to their analysis... Recommended."
--Choice

"This highly accessible book offers a novel approach to security studies, including insightful inserts ("Think Again") to stimulate readers' thinking about security issues for a new century. Human Security in a Borderless World should prove invaluable to a wide audience ranging from civilian and military students to policy makers and those who advise them."
--Naval War College Review "This is the book that those who teach international security have been waiting for: an in-depth, serious treatment of the emerging 'human security' paradigm, one that will serve as a marvelous foundation for units on these issues in upper-division courses or for entire courses on the subject. Timely, important, and engaging."
--Christopher J. Fettweis, Tulane University "Provides the best comprehensive examination of nontraditional, human security issues. The authors' approach is very important and persuasive. This book will be very helpful for anyone studying human security at the global level. It is a perfect fit for undergraduate classes on security, international relations, and globalization."
