She is the author of many books, including New & Old Wars: Organized Violence in a Global Era (2013) and The Ultimate Weapon is No Weapon: Human Security and the Changing Rules of War and Peace (2010).

“The changing nature of security has been breathtaking in its speed and unexpected turns since the end of the Cold War. Mary Kaldor's consistent accuracy in mapping those changes has been an invaluable and reliable guide as we enter into ever more uncertain territory. The Handbook should lie at the ready on any policy maker's desk.”  (Expofairs, 1 October 2015)
