The historical and ongoing centrality of the state in definitions of security leads to particular behaviors and policies in defense of state sovereignty and national security, many of which come into conflict alternative formulations of international security and human security. Exploring these issues, Neack (political science, Miami U. of Ohio) describes how states define security for themselves, how they perceive internal and external threats to their security, and how such formulations impact the use of state violence and the identity of victims of such force as states address terrorism, military and other threats from rival states, and threats to be "pre-empted" in the sense of the Bush Doctrine. He also offers chapters considering the issue of state sovereignty as it relates to (and has hindered) efforts to construct agendas of international and human security.
