(EDT), ISBN 1589018869, ISBN-13 9781589018860, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This collection of sixteen essays examines the nexus of security and development in seven core arenas of global politics: aid, humanitarian assistance, governance, health, poverty, trade and resources, and demography. In this respect, they consider security/development beyond conflict contexts. Th is organized around these seven areas. Each section is devoted to one with three sub-chapters: a development perspective, a security perspective, and editors comments. An introductory essay reviews existing security/development literature by both academics and practitioners. Particular sections consider triangular relationships between state-building, counterinsurgency, and humanitarianism; elections as a security mechanism; the pros and cons of securitizing health issues; how poverty-driven marginalization threatens security; malevolent actors who fund themselves through international trade; and demographic transitions. Key questions explored include what security/development mean, what should it prioritize, what principles should guide it, and how might it be promoted in practical terms? The contributors are practitioners in international institutions and NGOs, as well as scholars in policy-oriented think-tanks, mostly in Washington DC and three in Britain.
