"This welcome collection of Mohammed Ayoob's pioneering contributions to a Southern perspective on security and state-building challenges provides a necessary perspective on contemporary postcolonial debates in world politics." —Keith Krause, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies
"Across decades Mohammed Ayoob has written some of the most important essays on subjects ranging from the Global South in global order to the need to jettison realist-based approaches to security. To read these essays at the present moment is to realize that Ayoob was far ahead of the curve in his thinking and is as fresh today as ever. I strongly encourage scholars of international relations and security to grab this volume and marvel at the richness and rigor of the analyses." —Michael Barnett, George Washington University
"This republication of key Ayoob texts revives fond memories of the last half-century of intellectual jousting with the meaning of international relations pluralism. Invariably provocative and instructive, these essays leave me deeply grateful, once again, to have struggled with his frontal assaults on Western-centric analysis." —Thomas G. Weiss, City University of New York Graduate Center
"This collection of Mohammed Ayoob's insightful writings over the years reflects his major contributions to the IR field. The book sharpens the readers' understanding of both regional conflicts and world affairs more generally." —Benny Miller, University of Haifa
