Provides a comprehensive analysis of core global security challenges of the 21st Century with emphasis on the third decade
Traverses a range of analyses across the spectrum between core global security challenges (environment, WMDS, health, gender, great power politics, etc) with ongoing theoretical debates (critical theoretical approaches, traditional orthodox approaches)
Encompasses a diverse range of emerging, middle and senior academics from around the world, covering a multitude of topics in the global security domain
Provides a much-needed re-assessment amidst one of the most defining global junctures in 21st Century, if not the last 70 plus years
This book presents a range of analyses across the security spectrum, bringing a deep understanding of core global security challenges into contention with ongoing theoretical debates between critical and traditional approaches. Chapters analyse the evolving and shifting dynamics of geopolitics, prolonged armed conflicts, large-scale public health emergencies, and economic fractures. Additionally, authors discuss climate shocks, deepening social and economic inequity, trends in nationalism and populism, gendered violence, as well as challenges pertaining to cyber insecurity, emerging technologies, nuclear weapons, and global terrorism. The book illustrates these unparalleled circumstances, taken together with the epochal juncture expressed in the global pandemic, have evolved and coalesced to redefine the many complexities and oscillations of global security.
