### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A Must Have In These Times.
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2017*

Even more informative and interesting than expected, especially in these times. Straight to the point, but very enlightening.

Wish I had known about "a very short intro" series earlier!

    An excellent introduction to international security
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2015*

This is an excellent short introduction to international security. The author covers the expansive subject material masterfully and in a manner that is consistent with the 'very short introduction' series. It embraces the broader agenda of security studies that is reflected not only in contemporary academic debates but in broader definitions of security and threat embraced in UN Security Council discussions and national security strategies of states. These increasingly acknowledge the role of issues such as environmental change and disease on the security agenda, and indeed the  global or transnational nature of contemporary security threats (whether these or terrorism, for example) constitutes perhaps the key trend redefining the way we understand and approach international security. The author captures these complex shifts really well in this short introduction, and brings a critical and reflective perspective to bear on these issues. The book encourages us,for example, to reflect critically on what we understand as terrorism and the contexts of its use, which clearly isn't the same (contra one of the other reviewers!) as 'apologising' for terrorist action.As someone who coordinates a large undergraduate course on International Security I have set this text as a recommended resource for students. It communicates a complex and multifaceted agenda with clarity and insight.
