Abstract

The book International Security, by Alcides Costa Vaz and Augusto Teixeira Júnior (Contexto Publishing, 2025), offers a comprehensive introduction to the main themes and theoretical approaches within the field of contemporary international security. With accessible language and a plural theoretical foundation, the authors examine key phenomena such as war, terrorism, geopolitical disputes, transnational organized crime, and the role of multilateral organizations in conflict management. The work seeks to situate readers within both classical and current debates, articulating core concepts with empirical examples that highlight the complexity and evolving nature of international security. Primarily aimed at students and newcomers to the field, the book fulfills a didactic role while maintaining the analytical rigor necessary for a critical understanding of the subject.
