Introduction: Dictionary of International Security
Dictionary of International Security: Entries A-Z
Paul Robinson is Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa.
"An impressive book which would be useful both to a student
beginning their academic career or an expert looking for a concise
definition of a complex and difficult-to-determine concept."
Political Studies Review
"Where this book is strong is on the concepts underlying
international security concerns, particularly as viewed through the
national security or military prism. This is Robinson's background
and specialism and it is here that he excels."
Reference Reviews "Here is a great reference volume that puts
authoritative and clearly written definitions for a wide array of
terms in the international security studies field readily into the
hands of graduate and undergraduate students. This dictionary will
be an invaluable tool for navigating the most important conceptual
landmarks in the international security studies literature."
Richard L. Russell, Georgetown University and National Defense
University "Writings on international security tend to be dense,
not merely with one set of specialist terms, but with many. As one
reads about this topic, one encounters scholarly concepts,
diplomatic euphemisms, journalistic catch-phrases and the
acronym-laden language of contemporary armed forces. Robinson's
comprehensive and highly informative dictionary explains these
various terminologies in plain English, providing an invaluable
guide to works on the subject of international security and
alerting even the most experienced readers to the full meanings of
terms in this field."
Thomas M. Kane, University of Hull
