Barry Buzan Reihenfolge der Bücher

Barry Buzan proposes a new approach to making International Relations a truly global discipline that transcends both Eurocentrism and comparative civilisations. He narrates the story of humankind as a whole across three eras, using its material conditions and social structures to show how global society has evolved. Deploying the English School's idea of primary institutions and setting their story across three domains - interpolity, transnational and interhuman - this book conveys a living historical sense of the human story whilst avoiding the overabstraction of many social science grand theories. Buzan sharpens the familiar story of three main eras in human history with the novel idea that these eras are separated by turbulent periods of transition. This device enables a radical retelling of how modernity emerged from the late 18th century. He shows how the concept of 'global society' can build bridges connecting International Relations, Global Historical Sociology and Global/World History.

Aimed at readers interested in constructing a less West-centric, more global discipline of International Relations, this book provides a concise, thorough introduction to the thought and practice of international relations from premodern India, China and the Islamic world, and how it relates to modern IR.

The second edition of this widely acclaimed book takes as its main theme the question of how states and societies pursue freedom from threat in an environment in which competitive relations are inescapable across the political, economic, military, societal and environmental landscapes. Throughout, attention is placed on the interplay of threats and vulnerabilities, the policy consequences of overemphasizing one or the other, and the existence of contradictions within and between ideas about security. Barry Buzan argues that the concept of security is a versatile, penetrating and useful way to approach the study of international relations. Security provides an analytical framework which stands between the extremes of power and peace, incorporates most of their insights and adds more of its own.

Publikace přibližuje principy tzv. rozšířené agendy bezpečnosti, jež zohledňuje vojensko-politické, ekonomické, společenské a environmentální aspekty. V bezpečnostních studiích dnes existují dvě myšlenkové školy: tradicionalisté, kteří chtějí omezit předmět studia na politicko-vojenské záležitosti, a progresivisté, již chtějí studium rozšířit do ekonomické, společenské a environmentální oblasti. Autoři tvrdí, že bezpečnost je specifický typ politiky aplikovatelný na širokou škálu problémů, a nabízejí konstruktivistickou pracovní metodu pro rozlišení procesu sekuritizace od procesu politizace. Zároveň ukazují, že i v dnešním světě zůstává relevantní teorie regionálních bezpečnostních komplexů.
