Aus den Rezensionen:

"... In diesem umfassenden Werk bewerten 92 Autoren ... die Bedeutung von Sicherheit seit dem Ende des Kalten Kriegs. Außerdem geht die Veröffentlichung auf die Weiterentwicklung des Sicherheitsbegriffs von internationalen Organisationen wie der UN, der EU und der NATO ein und liefert Schlussfolgerungen für zukünftige Programme ..." (in: EU-Nachrichten Europäische Kommission Vertretung in Deutschland, 2008, Issue 9)

Jeder Leser sollte Themen von Interesse in diesem Band finden, die zumeist von ausgewiesenen Autoren qualifiziert behandelt werden. ... Die systematische Darstellung der sicherheitspolitischen Herausforderungen ist ebenfalls verdienstvoll. Interessant ist auch die Aufarbeitung der sicherheitspolitischen Debatte seit 1990 ...(in: Vereinte Nationen, 2008, Vol. 56, Issue 6, S. 274 f.)
