The field of Security Studies has undergone significant change during the past 20 years, and is now one of the most dynamic sub-disciplines within International Relations. It encompasses issues ranging from pandemics and environmental degradation to more traditional concerns about direct violence, such as those posed by international terrorism and interstate armed conflict. A comprehensive volume, comprising articles by both established and up-and-coming scholars, the Routledge Handbook of Security Studies identifies the key contemporary topics of research and debate today. The book is divided into four main parts: theoretical approaches to security and different 'securities'; contemporary security challenges; regional security challenges; and confronting security challenges.
