In the post-cold war world, debates over security have broadened beyond the realm of traditional military concerns. Resurgent nationalism, mass migration, religious, radicalism, economic globalization, environmental degradation have become increasingly the focus of debates in the field of security studies. International relations theorists in particular have sought to escape the intellectual hegemony of the realist parading in favour of a more normative approach to understanding the world in which we live.
Nonetheless, international politics is still trying to cope with empirical legacy of the cold war. Nuclear proliferation, the continued search by Russia for security, the attempt by Washington to sustain its dominant position in international affairs, continued concerns in the west over the influence of religious in particular Islamic radicalism stand as clear examples of how themes from the past continue to inform the present debates about international security. International security in a Global Age examines the new, the changing and enduring features of international security in the past-cold war era. In so doing it examines the extent to which present state structures and institution has been able to adopt and accommodate themselves to the diversity of security threat.
Note experts in their particular fields of security studies have collaborated to produce an indispensable guide for students who wish to have a sound empirical and conceptual introduction to the debates that now inform the discipline of security studies.
 

This volume examines the new, the changing, and the enduring features of international security in the post-Cold War era. In so doing, it examines the extent to which present state structures and institutions have been able to adapt and accommodate themselves to the diversity of security threats. - from Amzon
