Conclusion: Democracy, Resilience, and Imagination About the AuthorReviewsA rare textbook that brings together the insights of a wide range of security theorizing with contemporary events and debates including (but not limited to) the refugee crisis, global terror, the responsibility to protect, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. --Pinar Bilgin, Bilkent University, Turkey Engaging, critical, and comprehensive, the third edition of Laura Neack's book on national, international, and human security is essential introductory reading. It combines conceptual clarity with illustrative case-studies, provides readers with an in-depth analysis of how to think about security, and makes a compelling case for putting human security first in our times of multiple crises. --Gerd Oberleitner, UNESCO Chair in Human Rights and Human Security, University of Graz Introducing this new edition, Laura Neack notes her worry about 'the ethics of producing a book that might make students cynical and dispirited about security matters.' The author need not worry. The third edition of National, International, and Human Security is an engaging and practical study that does not shy away from examining otherwise-dispiriting instances of insecurity and even brutality. Incorporating extensive new and updated examples and arguments throughout, Neack provides students and their professors with a valuable framework to think about the sources and causes of the multiple and multi-layered crises we face today, and the resources--including the vision and imagination--needed to meet them and to 'work ourselves out of the ever-failing states-first security system.' It is a much-needed contribution and recommended reading. --Alistair Edgar, Waterloo University, Canada Laura Neack masterfully weaves case studies to explain her provocative and disquieting thesis that states' security-seeking practices often lead to greater national, international, and human insecurity. The new edition discusses security arrangements between states which lead to both liberal democratic zones where individuals are protected and authoritarian zones where international and human security remain secondary to regime security. --Karen Mingst, Emeritus, University of Kentucky Laura Neack's third edition provides a critical, timely, and highly relevant appraisal of our world's rapidly evolving security environment, placing human security issues at the center of analysis and discussion. Rich with some of the most important historical case studies of the past thirty years as well as up-to-date pivotal events including the COVID-19 pandemic, Jan 6 attack on the Capitol, and Russian invasion of Ukraine, this is a compelling, thought provoking, and impactful read for scholars, students, and practitioners of national and international security. --David Polatty, Brown University A rare textbook that brings together the insights of a wide range of security theorizing with contemporary events and debates including (but not limited to) the refugee crisis, global terror, the responsibility to protect, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.--Pinar Bilgin, Bilkent University, Turkey Introducing this new edition, Laura Neack notes her worry about 'the ethics of producing a book that might make students cynical and dispirited about security matters.'
