Media Reviews
This is a marvellous combination of contemporary history and political analysis. Mary Kaldor's collection of essays on the challenges of human security is wonderfully illuminating. It gives the reader a firm grip on the momentous - and often deeply tragic - events over the last two decades, as well as demystifying the problems of war and peace we face today. The exploration of the global civil society is particularly original and timely. Amartya Sen, Harvard University An authoritative and highly readable reconstruction of the intellectual and political discussions on issues such as global society, human rights, humanitarian intervention ... recommended reading for IR students, practitioners and all those wishing to engage with an influential analysis of the complexities inherent in humanities intervention. Political Studies Review Kaldor has provided an influential contribution to the debate on international relations ... one which makes for an easy and enjoyable read. Survival
