The essays in this book boldly confront the quest for security arising out of the social, economic, environmental, and political crises and transformations of our century. The contributors begin with an expansive, balanced analysis of the global landscape and the factors contributing to the growth of insecurity. This book argues that the superior performance of the Scandinavian countries arises from their superior systems of social protection, which allow their citizens to undertake greater risk and more actively participate in globalization. This book also examines how these global changes play out not only in the relations among countries and the management of globalization but at every level of our society-- most importantly in our cities, especially with increasing urbanization.
