World security : trends and challenges at century's end
This volume deals with international relations "grand theories" and presents an innovative inquiry into the reconceptualization of national security, seeking to explain the paradigm-shattering shifts in global politics, especially security politics. Its perspective is essentially North Atlantic. The two topics are sensibly coalesced here since the critique of so-called realist international relations thinking implies there are deficiencies in national security planning. State-centric analyses of war have rendered invisible the extent to which 20th-century war has been a phenomenon of central governments versus their own indigenous or aboriginal peoples.
