About the Book:
Understanding Global Security (5th Edition) by Peter Hough provides a comprehensive analysis of the many ways in which global security impacts peoples’ lives today. This revised edition extends the traditional focus on military threats—such as war, deterrence, and terrorism—by integrating non-military issues like famine, disease, crime, environmental degradation, and human rights abuses. The book offers an accessible and concise exploration of how people are threatened or secured in contemporary global politics.
The new edition includes several updates, such as fresh perspectives on the theoretical literature surrounding security, and it incorporates key recent political developments such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. It also introduces new sections on hybrid warfare and misogynistic terror, and offers in-depth examinations of topics like gun-smuggling, cybercrime, and genocide diplomacy. Additionally, the book reviews the challenges facing global governance in light of rising populist nationalism and includes a detailed evaluation of the Paris Climate Change Accords.
Key features of this textbook include:
-
'Top Ten Tables' that highlight the most destructive events or forms of death in the security domain.
-
Boxed Descriptions of key concepts in security studies and International Relations.
-
Biographical Boxes profiling key political thinkers and activists.
-
Further Reading and Websites for each chapter, guiding students towards classic texts and up-to-date information.
-
A Glossary of Political Terminology for easy reference.
This textbook is a valuable resource for anyone interested in global security, providing a clear, structured, and insightful guide to understanding the complex world of security politics.
