"In The New Global Insecurity, Ali Moghaddam develops a broad conception of human security that extends beyond freedom from the threat of military force to include environmental, food, and health safety. From this vantage point, security is not simply confined to military threats but incorporates the worries and concerns of ordinary people. Moghaddam argues for heightened international economic cooperation and renewed attention to identity threats. The book is a must read for anyone interested in a psychological approach to the national and international challenges posed by globalization."

"This important book identifies globalization, the increasing diversity of populations, and other sources of threat, insecurity and frustration in our contemporary world. It shows how they affect our effectiveness and well being and contribute to violence between groups, to terrorism and torture. This wide-ranging and well written book considers traditional approaches to dealing with diversity, and points to a new approach based on scientific research and understanding of human nature."
