Description
Understanding Global Security by Peter Hough provides a comprehensive survey of how and why people are killed in the contemporary world. This fifth edition fully revises and updates traditional security studies, including war, deterrence, and terrorism, alongside non-military security issues such as famine, crime, disease, disasters, environmental degradation, and human rights abuses. Key concepts of International Relations and globalization are defined and explained, with prominent political thinkers and activists profiled in short biographies. The book also graphically illustrates the human impact of various security threats through 'top ten' tables. This textbook offers a clear and concise introduction to the full range of security issues, making it easy for students to follow. By considering the variety of ways in which peoples' lives are threatened and secured, Understanding Global Security provides a nuanced understanding of contemporary global politics.
