Description
Global Security Cultures by Mary Kaldor explores the complex and often contradictory nature of contemporary security cultures. In this thought-provoking analysis, Kaldor examines four main types - geo-politics, new wars, the liberal peace, and the war on terror - to understand how different combinations of ideas, narratives, rules, people, tools, practices, and infrastructure come together to address or engage in large-scale violence. Kaldor's work sheds light on why military intervention often fails to achieve its intended goals, and how certain conflicts persist despite efforts to resolve them. She also investigates the rise of practices such as beheadings, extra-judicial killings, and sexual slavery, which have become increasingly common in recent years. By identifying contradictions and dilemmas within contemporary security cultures, Kaldor aims to open up new pathways for rescue and safeguarding civility in the future. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of global security and its complexities.
