The Culture of National Security: Norms and Identity in World Politics

by Peter J. Katzenstein (Editor)

Contributors ask whether it is more useful to conceive of the world as arrayed in regional, cultural, institutional complexes or organized along the conventional dimensions of power, alliance, and geography. They argue that perspectives that neglect the roles of culture and identity are no longer adequate to explain the complexities of a world undergoing rapid change.

A masterpiece of constructivism

Insightful, but often convoluted and overly theoretical.
