ConclusionReviews'[The authors] offer cutting and quite thrilling critiques of Western security practices - theoretically adept and beautifully written, they are at the forefron of exciting new research to come.' - Peter Adey, Radical Philosophy, 176, November/December 2012 ‘This book advances our understanding of the complex and often paradoxical terrain of the catastrophe as a field of knowledge and target of anticipatory governance. In doing so, its authors stand at the forefront of new thinking about contemporary regimes of security, power and governmentality.’ - Mitchell Dean, University of Newcastle, Australia 'This excellent volume is the first book-length engagement with the implications of catastrophe for contemporary practices of security governing. It is an important contribution to our current understandings of the politics of preemption, and it is indispensable reading for anyone interested in the contemporary logic of security and securitization.' - Mariek de Goede, University of Amsterdam '[T]his is a well-crafted and historically grounded comparative study that makes a welcomed and valuable contribution to the literature on foreign policy Europeanization and Europe−Latin America relations. Highly recommended for practitioners, students and scholars alike.' - Antonio Raimundo, NICPRI-University of Minho, Portugal 'In addition to the discussion of emergent ways of anticipating the future and positioning political subjectivity, this excellent book establishes new paths by which to appropriate catastrophe conceptually. Overall, this book works both to consolidate and seriously further our understanding of the complex relations between knowledge and what it means to govern - and be governed by - unknown futures.' Nathaniel O'Grady, Durham University, Political Theory Journal 'This book advances our understanding of the complex and often paradoxical terrain of the catastrophe as a field of knowledge and target of anticipatory governance. In doing so, its authors stand at the forefront of new thinking about contemporary regimes of security, power and governmentality.' - Mitchell Dean, University of Newcastle, Australia 'This excellent volume is the first book-length engagement with the implications of catastrophe for contemporary practices of security governing.
