Contemporary Security and Strategy: Second Edition

by Craig A. Snyder

From the publisher:
This rigorously-edited text brings together a range of specially-commissioned chapters to provide an accessible introduction to Security Studies in the 21st century. The second edition has been expanded to cover developments in global and regional security; nuclear proliferation; terrorism; intervention and peacekeeping and includes 8 entirely new chapters.

"[A] good set of essays that can be used for both graduate and undergraduate courses in security studies... It will be an important resource for scholars and advanced students of military security. It provides a structured and balanced overview, together with a comprehensive bibliography. It should be a 'must buy' for security studies courses." - Malcolm Chalmers, International Affairs
