Dear List Members,
You may find this new book interesting:
Daniel Béland (2007), States of Global Insecurity: Policy, Politics, and
Society. New York: Worth Publishers (“Contemporary Social Issues Series”).
"In States of Global Insecurity, Daniel Béland undertakes a comparative,
historical, and political analysis of state protection and the politics of
insecurity surrounding it. By looking at four major economic, social, and
environmental issues (BSE, terrorism and aviation security, urban
delinquency, and health care reform), the author expertly describes the
political logics behind state making and the social construction of
collective insecurity in the context of globalization. States of Global
Insecurity can be used in a variety of courses, including intro sociology,
globalization, political sociology, social problems, social stratification,
criminology, and political science."
