Recenzii
'An extremely rich collection of essays that captures the global and historical complexity of security and insecurity theoretically and practically. Ideal for teaching.' Cynthia Weber, Lancaster University, UK 'This innovative collection brings together the best of critical geopolitics scholarship in a comprehensive engagement with the contexts of contemporary insecurity. In emphasizing themes of affect and performance these excellent essays offer pointed critiques of the practicalities of the war on terror while simultaneously suggesting possibilities for more peaceful futures.' Simon Dalby, Carleton University, Canada '...a fascinating cross-section of contemporary understandings of security that take us well beyond stock-in-trade critiques of the political lassitude and legal effrontery of Western states, particularly the previous US Administration...Although they are aware of the moral, legal, ethical and political questions posed by the subject matter, the main points they raise are primarily geographical ones...The result is a satisfying analytical arc, which begins with an international-relations critique of Tony Blair's vision of "just" war and ends in artwork that projects security plans from Baghdad on to a map of Brussels to bring the "urban geopolitics" of the Iraqi capital closer to home.' Times Higher Education
