This textbook introduces students to the sub-field of critical security studies through a detailed yet accessible survey of emerging theories and practices. This third edition contains two new chapters - on 'Ontological security' and '(In)Security and the everyday' - and has been fully revised and updated.
Written in an accessible and clear manner, Critical Security Studies:
The book is divided into two main parts. Part I, 'Approaches', surveys the newly extended and contested theoretical terrain of critical security studies: constructivist theories, Critical Theory, feminist and gender approaches, postcolonial perspectives, poststructuralism and International Political Sociology, Ontological security, and securitisation theory. Part II, 'Issues', examines how these various theoretical approaches have been put to work in critical considerations of environmental and planetary security; health, human security and development; information, technology and warfare; migration and border security; (in)security and the everyday; and terror, risk and resilience. The historical and geographical scope of the book is deliberately broad and each of the chapters in Part II concretely illustrates one or more of the approaches discussed in Part I, with clear internal referencing allowing the text to act as a holistic learning tool for students.
This book is essential reading for upper level students of critical security studies, and an important resource for students of international/global security, political theory and international relations.

Praise for the 3rd editon:
'The welcome third edition of this textbook continues to provide a superb introduction and overview of critical security studies. Combining breadth and depth, it provides an excellent entry-point for students as well as a rich survey of contemporary issues and research for those working in the field.'-- Michael C Williams, University of Ottawa, Canada.
Praise for the 2nd edition:
'I use Critical Security Studies as a required reading for my courses in Paris and London - it is in my view the best introduction to the topic and this second edition is very welcome.'-- Didier Bigo, King's College London, UK
'Combining breadth and accessibility with cutting-edge contributions, the second edition of this book provides an excellent overview of critical security studies today.' -- Michael C. Williams, University of Ottawa, Canada
'This second edition gives us a most welcome update of what remains a key introduction to critical security studies. It is great to see the most recent developments in this vibrant field of research included.' -- Jef Huysmans, Open University, UK
'In mapping the recent advances and debates in the vibrant field of critical security studies, this book will be crucially important to students and scholars alike. Critical Security Studies: An Introduction highlights a different topography of critical approaches to security, which is more complex, layered and messy than existing maps have allowed us to see. The book is thus more than an introduction to the field - it is an injunction to rethink the political-theoretical underpinnings in critical approaches and take the debates further.'-- Claudia Aradau, King's College London, UK
