This book develops a critical and philosophical theory of security in world politics, challenging traditional and state-centric approaches. Ken Booth argues that security should be understood as a human-centered value that enables individuals and societies to pursue freedom and development. The work draws on critical social theory to address global crises and proposes a more cosmopolitan framework for understanding and reconstructing world security.
