Fully revised to incorporate recent developments in world politics, the second edition of Understanding Global Security analyzes the variety of ways in which people's lives are threatened and/or secured in contemporary global politics. The traditional focus of Security Studies texts - war, deterrence and terrorism - are analyzed alongside non-military security issues such as famine, crime, disease, disasters, environmental degredation and human rights abuses to provide a comprehensive survey of how and why people are killed in the contemporary world. New features to this edition include: analysis of key international political events of recent years such as the War in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina and the Israeli incursion into Lebanonrecent developments in the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and the `war against terrornew data on deaths attributable to global warming and the contribution played by this in `securitizing the issue on the agendas of sceptical statesexaminations of `lifestyle illnesses, largely spread by the diffusion of Western culture, like smoking or diabetesgreater analysis of recent diplomatic and institutional developments in the area of security: the Human Security Network and the UN Commission on Human Security.
