Review

"In this important new contribution to International Security Studies (ISS), Barry Buzan and Lene Hansen provide the field's first disciplinary history...The book offers a very broad approach to the field that incorporates traditionalists, those who call for the widening and deepening of security on the one hand, and those, such as peace researchers and advocates of critical security studies, who have sometimes criticized the whole endeavour of ISS or its associate, Strategic Studies, on the other. This approach helps capture and contextualize the field and identify some surprising elements of continuity and overlap." Alex J. Bellamy, The University of Queensland, Australia, International Affairs

"A rich text drawing on an extraordinarily wide range of materials to answer key questions in the debate on international security in the contemporary academic world: what should be part of International Security Studies, what should not, and why? This is a volume that will provoke enormous debate wherever international security is researched and taught, and is sure to become a keynote contribution to the literature." Stuart Croft, Professor of International Security, Warwick University

"The Evolution of International Security Studies takes an amazing intellectual journey around the rich, variegated and sometimes surprising stories about security that IR -all of it! - tells. An astonishing achievement." Christine Sylvester, Lancaster University

"The Evolution of International Security Studies is more than a comprehensive survey of a vast and contentious body of thought; it is also a lucid and insightful analysis of the forces that have shaped the field and the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. Buzan and Hansen are scrupulously fair-minded and their book is a model of clear and elegant exposition. It will be of enormous value to students and of considerable interest to established scholars as well." Stephen M. Walt, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
