International Security Studies (ISS) has changed and diversified in many ways since 1945. This book provides the first intellectual history of the development of the subject in that period. It explains how ISS evolved from an initial concern with the strategic consequences of superpower rivalry and nuclear weapons, to its current diversity in which environmental, economic, human and other securities sit alongside military security, and in which approaches ranging from traditional Realist analysis to Feminism and Post-colonialism are in play. It sets out the driving forces that shaped debates in ISS, shows what makes ISS a single conversation across its diversity, and gives an authoritative account of debates on all the main topics within ISS. This is an unparalleled survey of the literature and institutions of ISS that will be an invaluable guide for all students and scholars of ISS, whether traditionalist, 'new agenda' or critical.

Stanley J. Winkelman (1922-1999) was a powerful and influential man in the Detroit business community. After graduating from the University of Michigan and becoming a research chemist, Winkelman later joined the family retail business started by this father and uncle in the early part of the century. Although Winkelman is credited with transforming the retail industry through shrewd business deals with overseas markets, his dedication to religious, civic, and community affairs influenced much of Detroit’s social history. A Life in the Balance is the memoir of this great Detroit business leader. Stanley J. Winkelman, World War II veteran and native Michiganian, revolutionized the retail industry by bringing reasonably priced European career fashions to women. He was a lifetime member of the local chapter of the NAACP, active in the Jewish Community Council, lifetime member of the Temple Beth El, and during the 1967 Detroit riot took an active role in keeping city businesses from leaving city limits and improving race relations. Winkelman was also an active member of New Detroit—an organization formed after the 1967 riots dedicated to increasing communication with the African American community—along with such leaders as Henry Ford II and Walter P. Reuther. A Life in the Balance is not only the personal memoir of a Detroit business leader but also a record of Detroit’s social history through the life of one of its most prominent citizens. Readers interested in Detroit history will find Stanley Winkelman’s story an inspiring read.
