Globality and Entangled Security: Rethinking the Post-1945 Order New Global Studies (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2021-08-01 Fiona B. Adamson, Kelly M. Greenhill
In this essay we argue for the utility of moving from a “national” to an “entangled global” perspective on security.

Such a move enables a better understanding of historical
