Description
Introducing Security Studies: Critical Perspectives, an accessible introduction to critical security studies that takes a question-centred approach. This book provides students with the knowledge and skills to think critically about security from diverse perspectives.
The authors reveal common-sense security assumptions that reproduce forms of oppression and domination, while introducing inclusive perspectives on class, gender, sexualities, ethnicity, race, religion, disability, culture, ideology, political belonging, and the global south. By combining critical analysis with concrete empirical issues, students develop the confidence to ask important questions about security in contemporary politics.
Security Studies: Critical Perspectives is supported by online resources, including extensive cross-references, digital formats, and additional case studies, introductions to theoretical approaches, a bank of useful web links, and questions for further reflection. Available in various formats, this book offers convenient access to the social and political worlds around you.
