A fairly solid textbook on current security thinking
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
"World Security" is a book that seeks to introduce readers to the main issues that currently dominate the field of international security today. A selection of some of the topics included in the book are; arms proliferation, ethnic warfare, criminal violence, human migrations, etc... There are 19 different chapters each written by a different author. As such, each chapter does not go into too much detail on their specific topic. Instead, offering the reader only a very introductory survey of the issues.Given this structure I think the book will be most appealing as a textbook for an introductory university course on the issue of international security. But if you are someone looking to gain a cursory understanding of what is at issue then this might be the book for you (although, maybe at softcover prices!)
