About this book
This volume explores the complex interrelation between risk, identity and conflict
and focuses specifically on ethnicity, culture, religion and gender as modes of
identity that are often associated with conflict in the contemporary world. It
draws on theoretical perspectives as well as pays special attention to analysis of
diverse case studies from Africa, Middle East, Europe, East and Southeast Asia
and Latin America. Using various analytical tools and methodologies, it providesunique narratives of local and regional social risk factors and security complexities.
The relationship between risk and security is multidimensional and perpetually
changing, and lends itself to multiple interpretations. This publication provides a
new ground for theoretical and policy debates to unlock innovative understanding
of risk through analyses of identity as a significant factor in conflict in the world
today. At the same time, it explores ways to address such conflicts in a more
people-centered, empowering and sustainable way.
Reviews
“This book analyzes, both theoretically and empirically, how diverse social and
political identities such as ethnicity, culture, religion and gender can tackle risks
such as violence, conflicts, and pandemics from the perspective of security. It is
an ambitious and valuable book analyzing how to confront political, social and
international community’s risks with norms and institutional reforms within the
framework of neoliberal global competition.”(— Professor Kumiko Haba, Aoyama Gakuin University and former
Vice-President of Internationals Studies Association (ISA))“How do our experiences of identity shape our experience of risk in a rapidly
changing, and increasingly insecure world? These are some of the critical
questions that the book provides through exciting and vital insights for a more
sustainable and secure future.”
(— Professor Bronwyn Hayward, MNZM, University of Canterbury, New
Zealand, Member of Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change)
