Security in the West: Evolution of a Concept

by Giampiero Giacomello (editor), R. Craig Nation (Editor)

The goals of this volume are to analyze the evolution of the contested concept of security and to discuss how the concept of security has emerged as a "Western social enterprise." How Western conceptions of security have developed and changed since the end of the Cold War, the nature of new security challenges and their implications for the West and the direction in which evolving concepts of security will lead the West and the entire global community are some of the relevant themes addressed by contributors to this volume.
