Negative Positive
Title: A New Paradigm
Review: Adler and Barnett have edited, revised, and given contempory notice to an under-utlizied concept in ir scholarship: security community. This project began in the 1950s under a study published by Karl Deutsch which looked at states that seem to have transcended security competition. However, the extension of this concept is largely ignored and it was definitely in need of some revision. This volume (which examines nascent and ascendant security communities in various regions) is an excellent primer for those wishing to familiarize themselves with the concept. Also, for scholars associated with Deustch this is a good start to "update" and apply Deutsch's concept.
Is the review positive or negative?
