Series: Routledge Advances in International Relations and Global Politics

The concept of risk in global life has not been fully understood and explored and this book attempts to examine what it entails in the fast changing, interconnected and complex world. As a foundational component of safety systems, risk has been considered relatively simple, predictable, and therefore, assessable and manageable phenomenon. Social and political sciences prefer the terminology of security to capture the dimension of risk which is more complex and more consequential to survival. Risk has become more human-made and intentional today, and this book explores innovative approaches and engages in theoretical and policy debates to capture its political and security dimensions.

Reviews for Security and Safety in the Era of Global Risks

"""As we enter the era of globalized risk, this book couldn’t be more timely. It provides novel ways of thinking about risk in the realm of Security Studies, and in our daily lives.""---Prof. Yuko Kasuya, Vice President of IPSA (International Political Science Association) and Professor of Political Science, Keio University, Japan ""Living amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the rising wave of xenophobic populisms, and terror of globalized conflicts, we all have a personal experience of how different kinds of risks are penetrating our daily lives. This book provides a rationale different from safety sciences, and argues that security risks are far more contingent and interactive, and need complex and rarely satisfactory solutions.""---Prof. Hüseyin Bağcı, President of Turkish Foreign Policy Institute and Professor of International Relations and International Security, Middle East Technical University, Turkey"
