Globalization and security

This two-volume encyclopedia examines how globalization shapes security, presenting its analysis in a way that is both thorough and approachable. Its coverage reaches across the economic and political dimensions of globalization and into its social and cultural effects. The set is presented as the first reference to concentrate directly on security, including human security in its broad sense, and on how globalization influences the changing security landscape worldwide. Contributors come from a range of academic fields and countries, and the entries are aimed at readers working in one of the fastest-growing areas of study: where globalization and security meet.
