Humanitarianism Human Rights and Security The Case of Frontex

Examining the relationship between humanitarianism human rights and security in the governance of borders and migration this book analyses the case of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) challenging the common assumption that humanitarianism and human rights provide a critical basis for countering securitisation.

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork interviews and document analysis the book offers three perspectives on Frontex’s changing relationship to humanitarianism and human rights. In doing so it provides a multifaceted account of Frontex and its gradual appropriation of what are often considered pro-migrant discourses. Combining organisational sociology with a Foucauldian analysis the book speaks to ongoing debates on continuity and change in the security field and provides insights into studying security organisations more generally. Drawing on insights from Critical Migration and Border Studies Critical Security Studies Critical Humanitarianism and Human Rights Studies and Organisational Sociology the book will generate interest to multiple disciplines including Sociology International Relations Politics Anthropology European Studies and Geography. | Humanitarianism Human Rights and Security The Case of Frontex

US Foreign Policy in the Age of Trump Drivers Strategy and Tactics

This book investigates the drivers tactics and strategy that propel the Trump administration’s foreign policy. The key objective of this book is to look beyond the ‘noise’ of the Trump presidency in order to elucidate and make sense of contemporary US foreign policy. It examines the long-standing convictions of the president and the brutal worldview that he applies to US foreign policy; and his hard-line negotiation tactics and employment of unpredictability to keep America’s major foreign interlocutors off-guard such as NATO members China Mexico Canada North Korea and Iran – each of which are considered here. In strategy terms the book explains that the president is responding to a new multipolar structure of power by engaging a Kissingerian strategy that eschews liberal values and seeks to adjust great power relations in Washington’s favor. By drawing upon a range of evidence and case studies this book makes a number of compelling and provocative points to offer a new vector for debate about the workings successes and failures and ultimately the long-term implications for the world of the Trump presidency. This book will be of much interest to students of US foreign policy security studies and IR in general. | US Foreign Policy in the Age of Trump Drivers Strategy and Tactics
