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 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 Author InformationLaura Neack is a professor in the department of political science at Miami University in Oxford, OH. She has served as the editor-in-chief of International Studies Perspectives and president of the Foreign Policy Analysis section of the International Studies Association.
