| Summary |
"Wyn Jones provides an accessible overview of the ideas of the Frankfurt School's main thinkers - Horkheimer, Adorno, Habermas, Honneth, and Beck - and applies their insights to the study of security. His analysis challenges many of the assumptions underlying both the traditional and some alternative approaches to security studies."--BOOK JACKET |
