DESCRIPTION:edited by Philippe Bourbeau\nPublished by Cambridge University
  Press\, November 2015\n\nSecurity is a vital subject of study in the twen
 ty-first century and a central theme in many social science disciplines. T
 his volume provides a comparative analysis of the ways in which the concep
 t of security is theorized and studied across different disciplines. The b
 ook has two objectives: first\, to explore the growing diversity of theori
 es\, paradigms\, and methods developed to study security\; and\, second\, 
 to initiate a multidisciplinary dialogue about the ontological\, epistemol
 ogical\, paradigmatic\, and normative aspects of security studies in socia
 l sciences. Readers across nine fields are invited to reflect on their con
 ceptualizations of security and to consider how an interdisciplinary dialo
 gue can stimulate and enrich the understanding of security in our contempo
 rary world. Analytically sharp yet easy to read\, this is a cutting-edge v
 olume exploring what security is and what it means in today's world.\n\nTh
 e book:\n\nProposes an innovative and multidisciplinary approach to securi
 ty\nOffers a rich and unparalleled understanding of how security is unders
 tood and studied within the social sciences with contributions from leadin
 g academics in the respective fields\nProvides a coherent and structured m
 ultidisciplinary dialogue on security\nThere will be presentations by Lisa
  Stampnitzky (Sociology: Security and Insecurities) and Philippe Bourbeau 
 ( A multidisciplinary dialogue on security) on their respective chapters.\
 n\nAll welcome.
