"...brings sustained critical attention to the promises and practices of security, ethics and violence as they manifest themselves in the statecraft, foreign policy, diplomacy, terrorism, war-making, geopolitics and strategy of the last few decades." (author's introduction). Notes that coercion and violence are currently generally accepted approaches to security but argues that they are getting more destructive and out-of-control, and that politically and ethically they are distinctly suspect.
