Description
Book SynopsisAs an important aspect of human polity, the concept of security has an important place and space in politics. Though regularly mentioned or referred, the concept is rarely given a proper definition, usually left in the shadows of politics and policymaking and usually referred as a cause to an effect. Within the framework of this book, classic, modern and post-modern security issues are analyzed, while also focusing on the classical and diverse conceptual dimensions of security, current problems are also evaluated, especially in the axis of post-modern security studies. In security studies, a distinction is usually made between classical and post-modern approaches, but in this study, both are considered together. One of the important features of this work is that it offers a perspective from Turkish experts on the concept of security in international relations.
Trade Review"An excellent coverage of contemporary security studies, the book presents an up-to-date and comprehensive collection of papers on various aspects of traditional and non-traditional security issues. Delving into changing landscape of security studies in the 21st century, this book, with its wide-ranging focus and broader approach to security, will be an indispensable companion for students and specialists alike."
