Beschreibungen

<div><p>This handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of the contemporary theory, practice and themes in the study of national security. </p>

<p><i>Part 1: Theories </i>examines how national security has been conceptualised and formulated within the disciplines international relations, security studies and public policy. </p>

<p><i>Part 2: Actors </i>shifts the focus of the volume from these disciplinary concerns to consideration of how core actors in international affairs have conceptualised and practiced national security over time. </p>

<p><i>Part 3: Issues </i>then provides in-depth analysis of how individual security issues have been incorporated into prevailing scholarly and policy paradigms on national security.</p>

While security now seems an all-encompassing phenomenon, one general proposition still holds: national interests and the nation-state remain central to unlocking security puzzles. As normative values intersect with raw power; as new threats meet old ones; and as new actors challenge established elites, making sense out of the complex milieu of security theories, actors, and issues is a crucial task - and is the main accomplishment of this book.<p></p></div><br>

His research is&nbsp;concerned with national and&nbsp;international&nbsp;dimensions of global security decision–making, particularly in transnational&nbsp;networks and&nbsp;institutions.&nbsp;His work traverses a range of security themes, principally in global blacklisting and sanctions,&nbsp;cyber&nbsp;security and critical infrastructure, terrorism,&nbsp;political violence&nbsp;and&nbsp;political exclusion. This research&nbsp;is oriented around a&nbsp;cross-pollination of public administration (law, sociology and public policy) literatures and International Relations (critical&nbsp;security studies, global governance)&nbsp;perspectives to navigate the complex terrain of security in domestic and international spaces. He has published on these subjects in <i>Terrorism and Political Violence</i>, <i>Security Dialogue</i>, <i>British Politics</i>, <i>Political Studies</i> and <i>Review of International Studies</i>.
