{"product_id":"elusive-security-laura-neack-9780742528666","title":"Elusive Security: States First, People Last","description":"This clear and concise text offers a comprehensive comparison of national, international, and human security concepts and policies. Laura Neack argues that security remains elusive because of a centuries-old ethic that insists that states are the primary and most important international actors, can rely ultimately only on themselves for protection, and must keep all options on the table for national security. The author compellingly demonstrates how a state-first security ethic ultimately fails to secure states, the international community and--most important--human beings. In this state-first world, we only can choose between degrees of insecurity; true security remains elusive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Neack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0742528669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780742528666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.34w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 313","brand":"Laura Neack","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925838135551,"sku":"9780742528666","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4020ee36-05e2-4fb9-b2f0-c46f351dafe4.jpg?v=1681079664","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elusive-security-laura-neack-9780742528666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
