Regions and Powers: The Structure of International Security
Barry Buzan, Ole Wæver
This book outlines a theory which in the post-Cold War era builds upon Waltz's neorealism theory of International Relations. Using this theory as a lens to examine the world of International Relationswill aid in one's understanding of the world we live in today. This is required reading for any one taking political science or IR at the graduate level.
This book develops the idea that, since decolonisation, regional patterns of security have become more prominent in international politics. The authors combine an operational theory of regional security with an empirical application across the whole of the international system.
Individual chapters cover Africa, the Balkans, CIS-Europe, EastAsia, EU-Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America, and South Asia. The main focus is on the post-Cold War period, but the history of each regional security complex is traced back to its beginnings.
By relating the regional dynamics of security to current debates about the global power structure, the authors unfold a distinctive interpretation of post-Cold War international security, avoiding both the extreme oversimplifications of the unipolar view, and the extreme deterritorialisations of many globalist visions of a new world disorder. Their framework brings out the radical diversity of security dynamics in different parts of the world.
