"In this volume Michael Williams examines the role of culture in contemporary security policies, and provides a critical overview of the ways in which culture has been theorized in security studies. This book offers key insights into contemporary security politics and transatlantic relations, and will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of international relations, security studies, and European politics."--Jacket.
