"Based on a 2019 conference, this manuscript explores the concept of "Insecurity" as one of the governing logics of economic, political, and social life in the West at the end of the 2010s. The project's definition of insecurity expands the concept from its primarily economic meaning to include affective, ecological, and geopolitical concerns. Economic systems, climate systems, defense systems, data systems, academic governance: all are designed with security (and thereby insecurity) in mind. By focusing on insecurity, the manuscript shines a light on the ways in which purported attempts to make us secure and resilient end up having the opposite effect by making insecurity the default state of life in the 21st century. The contributors each take up the complex interdependence of security and insecurity from a variety of different methodological, theoretical, and disciplinary points of view"--

Concerns over insecurity and questions of safety have become central issues in social and political debates across Europe and the western world. Crucial changes have followed as a result, such as a redefinition of the role of the state in relation to policing - a central theme of this book - and an explosion in the growth of private policing.These developments have, in their turn, heightened feelings of insecurity and safety, particularly where populations have become increasingly mobile and societies more socially fragmented, culturally diverse and economically fragmented. Responses to insecu

A combination of heightened economic competition and an extreme concentration of power in geopolitics globalizes insecurity in the form of hyperconflict: a reorganization of political violence, a growing climate of fear, and increasing instability at a world level.

Threats to human security do not necessarily take cataclysmic forms such as war or natural disaster, nor does human insecurity exist solely within a suspended living environment like refugee camps. This publication explores less obvious threats to human security and how people and communities face them.--Publisher's description

In the past year, over four million Australians have run out of food and have been unable to buy more. Conversely, we also waste a lot of food right through the supply chain, costing the economy a staggering 20 billion annually. How can Australia address the needs of people who are food insecure, and by the same token minimise waste, to achieve an equitable and sustainable approach to food?.
