Human Insecurity: Global Structures of ViolenceBloomsbury Academic, 2008 - 208 pages Human Insecurity is concerned with our refusal to confront the millions of avoidable deaths of women and children each year. Those missing millions are rarely the subject of conventional security studies, yet such avoidable deaths are a vital part of the notion of 'security' more broadly understood.
