• Covering contemporary security issues in depth
• Bringing together chapters written by experts in each area
• Guiding you towards additional material for your essays and exams through further reading lists

Edited by a leading figure in the field, this is an authoritative guide to the key concepts that you′ll encounter throughout your non-traditional, and environmental, security studies courses.
