Biography
Dr. des. Monica Gariup, Zayed University, UAE.
'At a time when the revision of the two core documents of European security, the EU’s European Security Strategy and NATO’s New Strategic Concept, is being debated, this book provides a fascinating insight into the importance of the language of security. Food for thought for all involved in the process, academics and practitioners alike.'
