- Includes a new chapter on cyber-security, as well as more material on international organizations and institutions, private military companies, and nuclear proliferation and terrorism.
New to this edition - A rewritten economics chapter now utilises rational decision-making to show how economic instruments of the state can be used to pursue security goals, such as sanctions, trade agreements, or aid strategies.
- The rewritten development and security chapter presents globalization as an explanation for those structural conditions that expose people to a range of insecurities, which ultimately drive demands for change.
- The defence chapter now includes an historical overview of the trade in arms as well as the connections between the legal and illicit arms trade. Case studies include the procurement of weapon systems by terrorists, and efforts to limit the trade in particular weapon systems, such as landmines.
