Human Security In A Borderless World Available To Downloads
  To fully understand contemporary security studies, we must move beyond the traditional focus on major national powers and big wars. Modern threats to security include issues such as globalization, climate change, pandemic diseases, endemic poverty, weak and failing states, transnational narcotics trafficking, piracy, and vulnerable information systems. Human Security in a Borderless World offers a fresh, detailed examination of these challenges that threaten human beings, their societies, and their governments today. Authors Derek S. Reveron and Kathleen A. Mahoney-Norris provide a thought-provoking exploration of civic, economic, environmental, maritime, health, and cyber security issues in this era of globalization, including thorough consideration of the policy implications for the United States. They argue that human security is now national security.   This timely and engaging book is an essential text for today’s courses on security studies, foreign policy, international relations, and global issues. Features include three special sections in each chapter that explain potential counterarguments about the topic under consideration; explore the policy debates that dominate the area of study; and illuminate concrete examples of security threats. Richly illustrated and accessibly written, Human Security in a Borderless World is designed to encourage critical thinking and bring the material to life for students.

I had the chance to do a lot of things in the military and human security in real life. I would recommend this book if it is a required reading for class. However, it is common knowledge if you have done military courses and operated from the military standards. But it does bring up issues that may not be considered from another perspective. Especially in regards to non-realism issues that focus on liberalism and working with groups of nation-states and governments. It is a good book and I would recommend as a reading if you are interested in foreign affairs and international involvement to issues around the world.
This is a great book for anyone studying international relations. It's an easy read and explores many aspects of the field. I read it for a class but I would have enjoyed it even if I had read it in my free time, for pleasure.
Great book, perfect condition!
I needed this fairly specific book. I was pleased to learn it was available from . I ordered it, it came quickly and with proper packing to allow me to complete my research. I am a satisfied customer.
