Media Reviews
Reviews of the 1st edition: '[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 '... the papers are of a uniformly high standard, written with admirable clarity, and they provide a useful introduction to the topics that are addressed.' - Duncan Bell, Millennium
