Terrorisme, cybersécurité, place de la technologie dans les guerres contemporaines, voici un ouvrage clair et concis sur la sécurité internationale, ses acteurs et ses problématiques. Ce livre dresse un panorama des principales approches théoriques de la sécurité internationale, de ses acteurs-clefs (États, ONU, OTAN, Union européenne, sociétés militaires privées, ONG) et de ses enjeux. Exposant les différents aspects de la sécurité (physique, économique, sanitaire, etc.), il propose une réflexion plus générale sur les notions de Guerre et de Paix. Associant théories, études de cas et questions institutionnelles, il donne une vision générale en matière de sécurité internationale, et offre la possibilité d'approfondir les thématiques abordées grâce à de nombreuses pistes bibliographiques. Dans le contexte d'une menace terroriste grandissante et d'une floraison du champ lexical de la guerre chez les élites politiques occidentales, il est important de revenir aux éléments fondamentaux afin de proposer aux étudiants, aux professionnels et à tout citoyen des clefs de compréhension de la sécurité internationale aujourd'hui.

The last two decades have seen the rise to dominance of human-centred understandings of the world. Indeed, it is now rare to read any analysis of insecurity, conflict or development which does not discuss the need to empower local individuals or communities. As David Chandler argues in this path-breaking book, human-centred approaches have limited rather than expanded the transformative possibilities available to us, and if real change is to be achieved then a radical re-think is required.

Constructing International Security helps policy makers and students recognize effective third-party strategies for balancing deterrence and restraint in security relationships. Brett V. Benson shows that there are systematic differences among types of security commitments. Understanding these commitments is key, because commitments, such as formal military alliances and extended deterrence threats, form the basis of international security order. Benson argues that sometimes the optimal commitment conditions military assistance on specific hostile actions the adversary might take. At other times, he finds, it is best to be ambiguous by leaving an ally and adversary uncertain about whether the third party will intervene. Such uncertainty transfers risk to the ally, thereby reducing the ally's motivation to behave too aggressively. The choice of security commitment depends on how well defenders can observe hostilities leading to war and on their evaluations of dispute settlements, their ally's security and the relative strength of the defender.
