The war in Iraq in spring 2003 was a further indication of
the `resecuritisation’ of international relations triggered
by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. However, the
new (or renewed) primacy of security will be of a rather
different nature as compared to the Cold War period. The
underlying assumption of the essays in this volume is that
security issues will increasingly be approached from a
governance perspective and that, in this context, the
internal dimension of security governance – security sector
governance – is an issue whose rapidly growing importance
has not yet been duly recognised.
