Recensioner i media

The concept of Non-Traditional Security (NTS) is becoming familiar but typically only as a footnote to examinations of such "real" security issues as geostrategic interactions involving arms, alliances, troops, and territorial disputes. This book is a refreshing antidote to the marginalization of NTS with an in-depth analysis of the concept itself plus empirical assessments and case studies of NTS in nine different substantive areas. The result is a rich and rewarding exposure of an area too readily kept in the shadows.
