• Empirical Application: vividly demonstrating the real-world relevance of Security Studies with online videos from leading security practitioners to show how theory informs practice.
• Pedagogically Rich: comprehensive online resources and chapters features such as 'security beyond the real' and hands-on exercises that critically assess real-world security responses and their policy implications that offer ways to apply theoretical concepts in a highly innovative way.
• Innovative Structure: seamlessly integrating theoretical perspectives with empirical security concerns, this textbook offers a non-compartmentalised approach to theory and practice.

Informazioni sugli autori

My research lies at the intersection of Critical Security/War Studies, International Political Sociology, and Postcolonialism, focussing on the multifaceted relationships between violence, subjectivity, and the construction of political authority. I am passionate about bridging research and teaching and I have delivered International Conflict Management courses to civilian and security officials in North Africa, the Middle East, South America, the Balkans, and the Caucasus, where I also conducted field research.

Working at the intersection of critical security studies, historical international relations, defence studies, andglobal health, Malte‘s research examines the relationship between violence and modernity.

 

Malte holds a PhD in International Relations from the University of Reading. With expertise in the history of war, mercenaries, remote warfare, Professional Military Education, and the medicalization of violence, Malte′s research has appeared in various peer-review journals including Journal of Global Security Studies, Critical Public Health, Alternatives: Global, Local Political, Globalizations, Defence Studies, Small Wars & Insurgencies and in several scholarly volumes. Malte is also the series editor of Routledge Private Security Studies and Sandhurst Trends in International Conflict.

He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and holds a Fellowship of the UK Research & Innovation Talent Peer Review College.
