Reviews

Many editted collections are old before their time. Not this exciting collection, on security and conflict for the next age, from Amy Ekert and Laura Sjoberg. This book is relevant and timely, with up-to-date yet enduring insights, and it features some well-written chapters by such prominent scholars as Cheyney Ryan and Frances Harbour. It sports a terrific bibliography and promises to be useful for anyone concerned about conflict in our time.
*Brian Orend, author of The Morality of War*

The editors bring the deep and rich traditions of political theory and international ethics to confront cutting edge security questions in a bold and far-reaching manner. The result is a set of essays treating difficult issues like economic sanctions, the privatization of war and other contemporary security concerns in a fuller and fresh light.
