Overview of Understanding Security: A New Perspective Book

This book brings a new outlook on security studies as it advocates an optimal analysis taking into account the interrelations between state, society and environment in the context of security. It begins with a historical view of the subject and shows that the tripartite division of the world is singularly unsuited for security analysis. The proposition that the higher the complexity of a society the more vexatious are its security problems is explicated through a case study of South Asia. This book Highlights the roles of physical, structural and symbolic violence in the context of security analyses. Abandons conventional dichotomies and advocates a series of continua suited for interdisciplinary analysis. Pleads for a shift from the prevailing governmentalisation of security to governance of security. Conceptualises a secure society as one from which genocide, culturocide and ecocide are eliminated.
