Governing Borderless Threats

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Many of today's major global challenges - natural disasters, climate change, organized crime, capital flight - defy conventional intellectual frameworks. This book brilliantly demonstrates the mismatch using SE Asian cases and shows us how to move beyond it.' John Agnew, University of California, Los Angeles 'Combining innovative theoretical work with detailed empirical research, Hameiri and Jones make a significant and timely contribution to the study of security governance.' Columba Peoples, University of Bristol 'Security underpins a wide range of public goods traditionally the province of states. Today, security challenges are increasingly complex and transboundary, transforming and rescaling governance. Governing Borderless Threats reframes these issues in cutting-edge ways both empirically and theoretically.' Philip G. Cerny, University of Manchester and Rutgers University 'Offering an innovative theoretical perspective, this highly readable book shows how the global governance of transnational security threats is contingent on local power struggles over the rescaling of the state.' Rita Abrahamsen, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa 'Admirable ... highly welcome ... clear, intelligent and articulate ... The literature review is exemplary ... and the theoretical framework is backed by a convincing range of interlocking and substantial arguments ... a model example of how to construct a monograph-length study and how to carry it out in an elegant style. I readily recommend it to ... [scholars] interested in the governance dynamics surrounding new kinds of security threats.' Mark Rhinard, Public Administration '[Governing Borderless Threats] focuses on 'security governance', a theme often neglected in scholarly work on new security issues. ... This volume's great strength is in the detailed case studies that look in depth at the practical arrangements.' Simon Dalby, Academic Council of the United Nations System (www.acuns.org)
