An Introduction
This new Handbook gathers together state-of-the-art theoretical reflection and empirical research by a group of leading international scholars in the subdiscipline of Critical Security Studies. In today’s globalised setting, the challenge of maintaining security is no longer limited to the traditional foreign-policy and military tools of the nation-state, and security and insecurity are no longer considered as dependent only upon geopolitics and military strength, but rather are also seen to depend upon social, economic, environmental, ethical models of analysis and tools of action. The contributors discuss and evaluate this fundamental shift in four key areas: • New Security Concepts • New Security Subjects • New Security Objects • New Security Practices. Offering a comprehensive theoretical and empirical overview of this evolving field, this book will be essential reading for all students of critical security studies, human security, international/global security, political theory and IR in general.

Critical Security Studies introduces students of Politics and International Relations to the sub-field through a detailed yet accessible survey of emerging theories and practices. Written in an accessible and clear manner, this textbook: • offers a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to critical security studies
• locates Critical Security Studies within the broader context of social and political theory • evaluates fundamental theoretical positions in critical security studies against backdrop of new security challenges. The book is divided into two main parts. The first part, ‘Approaches’, surveys the newly extended and contested theoretical terrain of Critical Security Studies, and the different schools within the subdiscipline, including Feminist, Postcolonial and Poststructuralist viewpoints. The second part, ‘Issues’, will then offer examples of how these various theoretical approaches have been put to work against the backdrop of a diverse range of issues in contemporary security practices, from environmental, human and homeland security to border security and the War on Terror. The historical and geographical scope of the book is deliberately broad and readers will be introduced to a number of key illustrative case studies. Each of the chapters in Part 2 will act to concretely illustrate one or more of the approaches discussed in Part 1, with clear internal referencing allowing the text to act as a holistic learning tool for students. Selected Contents: Part 1: Approaches 1. Critical Theory and Security 2. Feminist and Gender Approaches 3. Postcolonial Perspectives 4. Poststructuralism and International Political Sociology 5. Securitization Theory Part 2: Issues 6. Environmental Security 7. Homeland Security and the ‘War against Terrorism’ 8. Human Security and Development 9. Migration and Border Security 10.
