  This text brings together a range of specially-commissioned chapters to provide an introduction to security studies in the post-Cold War world. The book starts by providing an account of the evolution of strategic thought and the main theoretical perspectives on the study of international security. It proceeds to address key developments, issues and debates in the world of international security and insecurity that have emerged or been dramatically changed with the fall of communism and superpower bipolarity: the rise of peace enforcement, the military application of information technology, regional conflict and co-operation and nuclear proliferation.
