Opis

Defining four main types - Geo-politics, New Wars, the Liberal Peace and the War on Terror - she investigates how we might identify contradictions, dilemmas and experiments in contemporary security cultures that might ultimately open up new pathways to rescue and safeguard civility in the future.

Recenzje

At a time of growing impunity by warring parties, and diminishing power of peace makers, Kaldor s new book provides an essential and urgent analysis of why wars drag on, and why the world fails, time and again, to care for those in desperate need.
Lyse Doucet, BBC Chief International Correspondent

"A major contribution to our understanding of the contemporary security landscape."
Saskia Sassen, Columbia University and author of Expulsions

"This book is a fascinating and thought–provoking assessment of the state of contemporary global security and, crucially, the cultural practices underpinning it, by one of its most perceptive scholars."
Andrew Mumford, University of Nottingham
