When the region does attract international attention, it is often related to security issues, including terrorism, ethnic conflict and drug trafficking.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eThis book brings together leading specialists from a range of disciplines including geography, anthropology, sociology and political science to discuss how citizens and governments within Central Asia think about and practise security. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors explore how governments use fears of instability to bolster their rule, and how securitized populations cope with (and resist) being labelled threats through strategies that are rarely associated with security, including marriage and changing their appearance. This collection examines a wide range of security issues including Islamic extremism, small arms, interethnic relations and border regions. While coverage of the region often departs from preconceived notions of the region as dangerous, obscure and volatile, the chapters in this book all place emphasis on the way local people understand security and harmony in their daily lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students and researchers of Central Asian Studies as well as Security Studies and Political Science. The chapters were originally published in the journal \u003ci\u003eCentral Asian Survey.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Lemon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367086751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367086756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Edward Lemon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086495887615,"sku":"9780367086756","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0b82087-9d7f-4f32-ba17-675e062bd922.jpg?v=1769094998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/critical-approaches-to-security-in-edward-lemon-9780367086756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
