Challenging the common assumption that security is an unquestionable good, Neocleous explores the ways in which security has been used in the service of a vision of social order in which state power and liberal subjectivity become an integral part of human experience. Treating security as a political technology for liberal order-building and engaging with a wide range of thinkers and subject areas - security studies and international political economy; history, law, and political theory; international relations and historical sociology - Neocleous explores the ways in which individuals, classes, and the state have been shaped and ordered according to a logic of security.

Mark Neocleous is professor of the Critique of Political Economy at Brunel University, and a member of the editorial collective of Radical Philosophy. His previous books include The Monstrous and the Dead, Imagining the State, The Fabrication of the Socia
