Yet despite living in the  most secure of  times, we see endangerment everywhere. Whether it is the  threat of another  devastating terrorist attacks, a natural disaster or  unexpected catastrophe,  anxieties and fears define the global  political age. While liberal governments  and security agencies have  responded by advocating a new catastrophic topography  of interconnected  planetary endangerment, our desire to securitize everything  has  rendered all things potentially terrifying. This is the fateful paradox  of  contemporary liberal rule. The more we seek to secure, the more our  imaginaries  of threat proliferate. Nothing can therefore be left to  chance. For everything  has the potential to be truly catastrophic. Such  is the emerging state of terror  normality we find ourselves in today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis  illuminating book by Brad  Evans provides a critical evaluation of the  wide ranging terrors which are  deemed threatening to advanced liberal  societies. Moving beyond the assumption  that liberalism is integral to  the realisation of perpetual peace, human  progress, and political  emancipation on a planetary scale, it exposes how  liberal security  regimes are shaped by a complex life-centric rationality which  directly  undermines any claims to universal justice and co-habitation. Through   an incisive and philosophically enriched critique of the contemporary  liberal  practices of making life more secure, Evans forces us to  confront the question  of what it means to live politically as we  navigate through the dangerous  uncertainty of the 21st Century.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrad Evans \u003c\/b\u003eis senior lecturer in international relations at the University of Bristol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 March 2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780745665313\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e224\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44377637814412,"sku":"9780745665313","price":65.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780745665313_7d6c2e38-6b1c-49fb-8473-5117ef66556f.jpg?v=1780106764","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780745665313","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
