Reviews for Security in the Anthropocene: Reflections on Safety and Care
»This passionate and extremely well written volume should be read by all of us interested in such questions. It cannot provide a clearly formulated set of policy solutions, but it very effectively begins the necessary and urgent task of focusing our collective attention on how to rethink security in the Anthropocene.« Simon Dalby, ACUNS, 09.01.2018
