Mapping Security in the Pacific: A Focus on Context, Gender and Organisational Culture: Routledge Studies in Crime and Justice in Asia and the Global South
Editat de Sara Amin, Danielle Watson, Christian Girarden Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iun 2022
Mapping Security in the Pacific underscores the multidimensional nature of security, its relationship to local, international, organisational and cultural dynamics, the resistances engendered through various forms of insecurities, and innovative efforts to negotiate gender, context and organisational culture in reducing insecurity and enhancing justice. Covering the Pacific region widely, the volume brings forth context-specific analyses at micro-, meso- and macro-levels, allowing us to examine the interconnections between security, crime and justice, and point to the issues raised for crime and justice studies by environmental insecurity. In doing so, it opens up opportunities to rethink scholarly and policy frames related to security/insecurity about the Pacific.
Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, cultural studies, social theory and those interested in learning about the Pacific region and different aspects of security.

Recenzii
Security in the Pacific is complex and highly contested sociologically, geopolitically and scholastically and the book comprehensively captures these complex and often competing discourses in a brilliant way. This is must read source for those seeking to be enlightened with original, deep and critical analysis of the multi-dimensional and intersectional nature of security in a dramatically transformational, culturally resilient and sometimes politically turbulent Pacific. – Prof Steven Ratuva, Director, Macmillan Brown Centre for Pacific Studies and Professor in Anthropology and Sociology, University of Canterbury. Chair, International Political Science Association Research Committee on Security, Conflict and Democratization.
This important and timely book provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical examination of security and insecurity in Pacific Island countries. The book’s editors and contributors elucidate the complex, interrelated and multidimensional dynamics and forms of security in these countries at different levels of analysis from the global to the local. Mapping Security in the Pacific challenges us to rethink issues of security and insecurity in the Global South, including how security is defined and approached; the role of local and international organisations; and the gendered nature of security, making this volume a must-read for both students and established scholars. – Nathan W. Pino, Professor of Sociology, Texas State University, USA
Mapping Security in the Pacific: A focus on context, gender and organisational culture provides an important contribution to understanding a wide range of security concerns and contexts from the perspective of the Pacific Islands. The multidisciplinary/multidimensional focus on different dimensions of security allows the reader to gain an understanding of the context, gender and organisational culture of Pacific Island security through a diverse range of contributions on issues ranging from policing, climate change, military reform and economic (in)security.– Fiona Hukula, Senior Research Fellow, Building Safer Communities Research Program National Research Institute-Papua New Guinea
The Pacific region is a large geographical area but very little remains known of the social structures and social relations of its many small nations. Even less is known of the way in which security is maintained, challenged, transformed and reformulated in this region. This book remedies these deficiencies by providing important essays that shed clear light on these concerns. – John Pratt, Professor of Criminology, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
