Description

Security is meant to make the world safer. Yet despite living in the most secure of times, we see endangerment everywhere. Whether it is the threat of another devastating terrorist attacks, a natural disaster or unexpected catastrophe, anxieties and fears define the global political age.

"Makes an important macro-theoretical contribution to the micro-level ethnographies of security  conducted in geography."
Antipode

"In this brilliant book, Brad Evans offers a forceful, cogent, and eye-opening analysis of the complex forces shaping the new normal of terror and security, and provides the theoretical and political tools to challenge it. Liberal Terror should be required reading for everyone concerned about both the changing nature and fate of politics today."
Henry Giroux, Professor of Global Media Networks, McMaster University

"Liberal interventionism is driven by imaginaries of fear and uncertainty. With its desperate quest to control ungoverned space and eliminate autonomy in order to secure the global bio-sphere, this interventionism now engulfs us all. Brad Evans has written a superb and vital critique which is highly original and compelling. It demands our attention."
Mark Duffield, University of Bristol

"A tour de force. Page after page, the rhetorical motions of the text are disruptive, insightful and compelling. A counter-effectuation of the prevailing, neo-liberal political conceits in both academic and governmental spaces, its contributions to security analysis, critical methods, and political thinking in general will have lasting effects."
Michael J. Shapiro, University of Hawaii, Manoa

"This book is essential reading for anybody who wants to understand the 21st Century security terrain. It illustrates with sophisticated critical poise the ethical and political stakes of the contemporary attempts at securing planetary life. In doing so, the need to think beyond the failures of liberal humanism becomes altogether more urgent and pressing."
Simon Critchley, New School for Social Research
