SUMMARY

Global Security Governance demarcates the barriers and pathways to major power security cooperation and provides an empirical analysis of threat perception among the world's major powers.Divided into three parts and using a common analytical framework for the changing security agenda in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Russian Federation, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the EU. Each chapter features: An examination of national 'exceptionalism' that accounts for foreign and security policy idiosyncrasies Definitions of the range of threats preoccupying the government, foreign policy elites and public. Assessments of the institutional and instrumental preferences shaping national security policies Investigations on the allocation of resources between the various categories of security expenditure Details on the elements of the national security culture and its consequences for security cooperation. By combining a coherent theoretical framework with strong comparative case studies Global Security Governance contributes to the ongoing reconceptualization of security and definition of threat and provides a basis for reaching tentative conclusions about the prospects for global and regional security governance in the early twenty-first century. This makes it ideal reading for all students of Security Studies.Sperling, James is the author of 'Global Security Governance Competing Perceptions of Security in the 21st Century', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415391627 and ISBN 0415391628.
