New Threats and New Actors in International Security

Canadian, US, and British scholars of political science and security explore the changing nature of security in light of civil war, terrorism and transnational crime, HIV/AIDS, small arms and light weapons, and the editor's confusion about centuries and millennia. Among their topics are the emergence of security governance, whether humanitarians and mercenaries can be partners in security governance, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as security actors in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and NGOs and the shaping of the European controls on small arms exports.
