Palgrave Studies in Global Security Reimagined: A Multi Disciplinary Exploration

margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 18.0pt;"> This edited monograph examines global security through a range of multidisciplinary perspectives. While issues such as great power politics, border security, cybersecurity, energy security, and terrorism often dominate academic, political, economic, and media discussions, this book underscores the importance of a holistic and multi-level approach to security. By adopting a broad analytical lens, it aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of contemporary security challenges. The book explores diverse perspectives, including ontological security, early childhood intervention, migration, cyber peace, autonomous weapons, and emerging technologies. It also critically engages with security from feminist and multicultural viewpoints. Rather than offering definitive answers, this collection raises fundamental questions about the complexities of local and global security in all its forms. Dr. Tuba Boz is Lecturer in the Social Work and Human Services Program at the School of Global, Urban, and Social Studies, RMIT University. She co-leads the Migration, Mobility, and Security Research Network at RMIT University, Australia. Professor Hariz Halilovich is Australian Research Council Future Fellow and Professor of Global Studies at the School of Global, Urban, and Social Studies, RMIT University, Australia. Professor Aiden Warren is Fulbright Scholar and Professor of International Relations at the School of Global, Urban, and Social Studies, RMIT University, Australia. He is the Chief Editor of the Palgrave Studies in Global Security book series. This edited monograph aims to unpack the discourse surrounding global security from a range of multi-disciplinary perspectives. While various aspects of security such as great power politics, border security, cybersecurity, energy security, and terrorism often absorb the main focus of academic, political, economic and media attention, this book emphasises the significance of a holistic approach and multi-level analysis of security in order to attain a comprehensive insight and understanding. The book explores a range of perspectives, including ontological security, early childhood intervention, migration, cyber peace, the use of autonomous weapons and emerging technologies, as well as critically engaging security from feminist and multicultural perspectives. Overall, the collection intends to raise questions rather than offer answers to the complex and perpetual question of local and global security in all its forms. The contributors are primarily composed of a team of RMIT University researchers within the School of Global, Urban and Social Studies (GUSS), who come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds including, Anthropology, Political Science, Criminology and Social Work and International Studies. Through this collaboration, the researchers will highlight GUSS as leaders in this field. Moreover, the authors also have a wide range of experience, including early and mid-career research as well as senior scholars. This cooperation reinforces the formal and informal mentoring processes at GUSS. Global Security Reimagined: A Multi-Disciplinary Exploration is intended for academics, researchers and policymakers to further expand their thinking around security. It is also particularly aimed at undergraduate and post-graduate students studying security so they can gain a critical and holistic insight into (in)security from a variety of cross-disciplinary perspectives.
