New Book – A world of insecurity: Anthropological perspectives on human security
A world of insecurity: Anthropological perspectives on human security, a collection of essays edited by Thomas Hylland Eriksen, Ellen Bal and Oscar Salemink. The book defines Human Security as a multidimensional and dynamic conceptual lens which allows us to link these various dimensions – superficially classified as physical and existential security – with one another in order to achieve a richer, more complex and more compelling analysis. If cultural and religious dimensions are left out of the equation, then a Human Security analysis is bound to be incomplete, theoretically barren, and politically irrelevant.
