More about the book
The book provides a critical examination of how security narratives crafted by leaders serve not only to highlight real threats but also to justify their authority and the existing political and economic structures. Derber and Magrass reveal the irony that these stories, while intended to enhance security, often exacerbate feelings of insecurity among citizens and jeopardize national stability. Through this analysis, the authors challenge the effectiveness and implications of such narratives in contemporary society.
