Very good introduction to the current state of security in the world. Starts with an outline of what is meant by international security, the main perspectives (paradigms) in international relations, the deepening and security and the increasing interdependence between national and international issues. The latter are then the focus as potential security threats for the rest of the book: military, economic, social, environmental, health, natural and man-made disasters and accidents, and criminal threats. The concluding chapter deals with global security and why this will becoming increasingly important compared to national or government level security. Each chapter has key points, recommended readings, and related web-sites.
