This book analyses the challenges of secrecy in security research, and develops a set of methods to navigate, encircle and work with secrecy.How can researchers navigate secrecy in their fieldwork, ...when they encounter confidential material, closed-off quarters or bureaucratic rebuffs? This is a particular challenge for researchers in the security field, which is by nature secretive and difficult to access. This book creatively assesses and analyses the ways in which secrecies operate in security research. The collection sets out new understandings of secrecy, and shows how secrecy itself can be made productive to research analysis. It offers students, PhD researchers and senior scholars a rich toolkit of methods and best-practice examples for ethically appropriate ways of navigating secrecy. It pays attention to the balance between confidentiality, and academic freedom and integrity. The chapters draw on the rich qualitative fieldwork experiences of the contributors, who did research at a diversity of sites, for example at a former atomic weapons research facility, inside deportation units, in conflict zones, in everyday security landscapes, in virtual spaces and at borders, bureaucracies and banks.The book will be of interest to students of research methods, critical security studies and International Relations in general.
Greenland has increasingly captivated imaginations around the globe. Yet, while it is central to the Arctic region, its role has been poorly understood. Greenland in Arctic Security delivers a ...comprehensive overview of how security dynamics unfold in and in relation to Greenland. Each individual chapter analyzes specific discourses and dynamics pertaining to hard or soft security questions. These span from great power interests in geostrategic infrastructure to domestic debates centered on promoting and protecting Greenland identity when engaging with the outside world. In addition, the book offers perspectives on other security questions that have been catalyzed by the effects of climate change. By combining these different analyses, Greenland in Arctic Security provides new, theoretically informed discussions on how security politics can manifest across different scales and territorial borders. At times, these politics can have consequences beyond their original intent. With Greenland geopolitics and securitization theory of current interest to political and academic debates, this book offers timely insights for readers.

The Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Agenda is a global framework and policy tool that guides national actions addressing gender inequalities and the drivers of conflict and its impact on women and ...girls. By fostering structural and institutional change, the WPS agenda aims to 1) prevent conflict and all forms of violence against women and girls and 2) ensure the inclusion and participation of women in peace and security decision-making processes to incorporate their specific needs in relief and recovery situations. This volume gathers together student papers from the Joint Women, Peace, and Security Academic Forum's 2021 WPS in PME Writing Award program, a best-of selection of informative and empowering work that intersects with Department of Defense equities supporting global WPS principles. Student participants in the Joint WPS Academic Forum hail from prestigious DOD academic institutions, and this monograph shows how the strategic leaders of tomorrow embrace WPS today, offering a strong indication of how WPS principles will be implemented over time and how they will influence the paradigm of peace and security and our approaches to conflict prevention and resolution.
The interdisciplinarity, multidimensionality and complexity of the security paradigm in the XXI century are reflected. Theoretical and applied (practical) aspects of ensuring the security of objects ...of global, sub-global, macro-, meso- and micro-levels of security in the conditions of an unprecedented transformation of the world, an increase in the level of turbulence and uncertainty recorded in the global and national contexts of development, the latest challenges, opportunities and threats at the beginning of the XXI century. The development of theoretical aspects of ensuring security has found manifestation in: identification of approaches to understanding the essence of the concept of "security", security paradigms, object-subject, sectoral structure, analytical levels of security; substantiation and presentation of the author's approaches to understanding the essence of the concepts of "national security", "public administration in the field of security", "financial security", "financial security of sustainable development", "economic security", "security and protection in global tourism", "security enterprises”, incl. "economic security of the enterprise"; allocation of components and indicators of national security, incl. national financial and economic security, economic security of enterprises, industries, innovative ecosystems; determining the meaning and role of language and linguistic identity, development of innovative ecosystems, financial and economic security, enterprise security to ensure national security; determining the importance and role of national security and its components, financial security of sustainable development, tourism security to ensure personal and global security; improving the classification of international financial resources involved in the field of sustainable development, identifying measures to ensure the financial security of sustainable development at different levels of management; identification of models for ensuring the security of states and their features; substantiation of the architecture of the intellectual control system of food industry enterprises.

This book analyses securitization processes outside of the West, with a focus on Africa. The aim of the volume is to develop an original analytical framework to explain the ...securitization-neo-patrimonialism dynamics in West Africa, drawing upon insights from securitization theory, sociology and psychology. Among critical voices, securitization has become the gold standard for analysing emerging challenges, such as migration, terrorism, and human security. Yet, despite its broadening agenda, the framework has also been accused of bias, with a Western political context and democratic governance structure at its heart. This book aims to re-conceptualise the framework in a way that suits non-Western contexts better, notably by re-conceptualising the securitization-neopatrimonialism nexus in Africa, which gives us significant new insights into non-Western political contexts. It analyses the securitization processes among the political elites under neo-patrimonial statehood, and further stretches the conceptualisation of securitization into African statehood, which is characterised by a blurred line between the leader and the state. The volume explores the processes of securitizing threats in Liberia, Sierra Leone and wider West Africa, as well as the neo-patrimonial regimes of these states. In doing so, it explores the influence these states’ neo-patrimonial regimes have on the processes of threat securitization. This book will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, African politics and International Relations.
