Description
Contemporary Security Studies by Alan Collins provides in-depth coverage of key security issues, including terrorism, conflict, nuclear deterrence, environmental security, health, and organized crime. This comprehensive introduction to security studies brings together leading scholars to offer a student-friendly guide to critical theoretical approaches and the most important issues dominating the modern security agenda. The book encourages students to question their preconceptions and critically evaluate key approaches and ideas through helpful learning features such as "key ideas", "think points" and case studies. These resources demonstrate real-world applications, relevance, and implications of theory, supporting further learning with online resources. For students, additional online case studies, self-marking multiple-choice questions, and web links to reliable sources are available to expand knowledge of the subject. For lecturers, adaptable PowerPoint slides provide a basis for lecture presentations or hand-outs in class.
