Human Security as Statecraft: Structural Conditions, Articulations and Unintended Consequences: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Human Security as Statecraft: Structural Conditions, Articulations and Unintended Consequences" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book critically investigates the discourses and practices of human security and aims to delve below the stereotypical imageries representing them. Drawing on Foucault and Deleuze, the author approaches human security from a new perspective, with the aim of ascertaining what has been behind and underneath a certain spatio-temporal articulation of human security, and with what political implications and consequences. Each human security assemblage is composed of messy discourses and practices which are loosely related and sometimes even disconnected. This book examines the Canadian and Japanese articulations of human security and establishes the kinds of structural terrains have enabled, shaped, or blocked the unfolding of these versions of human security. The pivotal contention of the book is that Canadian and Japanese articulations of human security have been different because they have grown from completely different domestic economies of power governing the relationship between the state apparatus and the non-profit and voluntary sector. While the Canadian human security assemblage has been shaped by transformations in the countrys advanced liberal model of government, the Japanese has been shaped by the continuities of Japans bureaucratic authoritarianism. A novel approach is employed for the related process-tracing: a general series linking structural conditions with actual articulations of the human security projects, and their further development, including analysis of their unintended consequences. This book will be of much interest to students of Critical Security Studies, human security, global governance, foreign policy and IR/Security studies.

Human Security as Statecraft
This book critically investigates the discourses and practices of human security and aims to delve below the stereotypical imageries representing them.
Drawing on Foucault and Deleuze, the author approaches human security from a new perspective, with the aim of ascertaining what has been behind certain articulations of human security, and with what political implications and consequences. This book examines the Canadian and Japanese articulations of human security and establishes the kinds of structural terrains that have enabled, shaped or blocked the unfolding of these versions of human security. The main argument is that the Canadian and Japanese versions of human security are different because they have grown from completely different domestic economies of power governing the relationship between the state apparatus and the non-profit and voluntary sector. While the Canadian human security assemblage has been shaped by transformations in the country's advanced liberal model of government, the Japanese one has been shaped by the continuities of Japan's bureaucratic authoritarianism. The author links structural conditions with actual articulations of the human security projects, and their further development, concluding with an analysis of their unintended consequences.
Human Security as Statecraft will be of much interest to students of Critical Security Studies, human security, global governance, foreign policy and IR/Security studies.

Acknowledgments
First of all, I would like to express my warmest thanks to my mentors and comrades, Mike Pugh, David Chandler, Jozef Btora and David Bosold, for their thoughtful advice and unshakeable trust in me during all the phases of this research. Their wisdom, knowledge, humour and enthusiasm have been important constants for me during this intensely liquid period. Their numerous challenges, comments and suggestions have significantly strengthened the quality of my work. Also, I have immensely appreciated their intellectual openness and flexibility as well as their ability to listen to my arguments. Additionally, Mike's double reading of the entire manuscript has proved vital for my efforts to put finishing touches to the book. I will always be thankful for their great support.
The preparation of this manuscript was undertaken with financial support from several research grants. I would like to acknowledge a Fellowship for Intellectual Exchange 20089 to undertake a research project on the Japanese human security which was awarded to me by the Japan Foundation/Government of Japan; the Canada-Europe Award for the reassessment of Canadian Foreign and Security Policy, which was received from the International Council for Canadian Studies/ Government of Canada; the Graduate Student Scholarship of the International Council for Canadian Studies/Government of Canada to undertake research concerning the impact of Canadian governmental practices on changes in typifications of security knowledge; and, finally, the reception of the Scholarship of the Jan Hus Foundation to support young faculty in the fields of the humanities and social science. I am grateful to all these organisations.
My research for this book was made possible thanks to the numerous interviewees who agreed to give their time to answer my questions. During two rounds of field research in Canada in spring 2006 and autumn 2007 I had the privilege to interview and talk to a number of governmental officials in the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAIT) and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). As for Japan, during two rounds of field research which I conducted in autumn 2008 and autumn 2010 I had the opportunity to interview a number of governmental officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Additionally, I would like to thank to a high-ranking official from the UN Office of Disarmament Affairs in New York, USA, and a high-ranking official from the UN Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) in Geneva, Switzerland, for their frank discussion of the UN practices in the area of human security and their perspective on the Canadian and Japanese human security projects. Notwithstanding their tight schedules, all the above officials granted me a considerable part of their time to share their insights with me. Although I cannot name them due to their preference to remain anonymous on account of the political sensitivity of issues I discussed with them, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for their help.
