Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.

This timely Research Agenda explores the challenges facing contemporary critical security studies. It investigates the field's theoretical underpinnings, methodologies and overall relevance in today's rapidly changing political landscapes and overlapping multi-crises.

Leading scholars outline the intersecting timelines, actors and epistemologies involved in the framing and negotiation of modern security concerns. Bringing together a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, chapters provide diverse insights into concepts, spaces and practices of security, with a particular focus on inequalities and the role of violence. This Research Agenda broadens the scope of feminist, post-colonial and ontological security scholarship and explores the interaction between ecological and security politics and the impact of intergenerational justice. The book interlinks personal, national and international levels of security, highlighting alternative security futures, including more-than-human approaches to recognise and respond to the politics of technological change.

With comprehensive coverage of debates in the field, this Research Agenda is a valuable resource for students and scholars of critical security studies, international relations, sociology, political science and human geography.
