Globalization and National Security
Globalization and National Security by Jonathan Kirshner, published by Routledge in 2006, is a comprehensive examination of how globalization impacts national security. This edition spans 361 pages and is presented in English. The book features contributions from leading scholars in international relations who analyze the consequences of globalization, focusing on three key processes: the intensification of economic exchange, the flow of information, and marketization. These processes are explored in relation to their effects on state capacity, power, and the dynamics of conflict both within and among nations.
Readers will find a systematic assessment of the relationship between globalization and national security, addressing how state-less actors, including terrorists, leverage globalization to influence security dynamics. The essays highlight the necessity of understanding globalization’s role in shaping the balance of power, the potential for conflict, and the strategic decisions made by states. This scholarly work provides insights into the evolving security landscape in the context of global interconnectedness, making it a significant contribution to the fields of political science and security studies.
Official synopsis Publisher
In this book, top scholars of international relations assess the consequences of globalization for national security, identifying three distinct ‘processes’ of globalization – the intensification of economic exchange, the flow of information, and marketization (the expansion of the set of social relations governed by market forces)-exploring how they can affect the capacity and power of states as well as conflict within and among them.
Though much has been written on the topics of globalization and national security, there has been relatively little in the way of a systematic examination of the impact that globalization has on a state’s national security. These essays deal with how state-less actors, such as terrorists, utilize the benefits of globalization, changing the nature of the security game. Failure to account for the influence of globalization will make it increasingly difficult to understand changes in the balance of power, prospects for war, and strategic choices embraced by states.
