Studies in Security and International Affairs

The University of Georgia Press in collaboration with the University of Georgia’s Center for International Trade and Security and Department of International Affairs created this series to publish outstanding scholarship on some of the most pressing challenges of the twenty-first century. This series grows out of the dramatic internationalization of the University of Georgia: the creation of a new School of Public and International Affairs, the establishment of a new Department of International Affairs, and the continued growth of the Center for International Trade and Security and related programs.

We are particularly interested in work that presents important new perspectives on the crises in American foreign policy and global governance; democratization, civil society, and the rule of law; rising powers and regional hotspots such as the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Latin America; new security threats, including terrorism and responses to it; defense policy; postconflict reconstruction; multilateralism and international institutions; and the U.S. role in the world. Books in this series draw from the fields of comparative politics, foreign policy, international relations, and security policy. The series crosses disciplines and attempts to bridge gaps, including those between the academy and government and between nations and “civilizations.”

William W. Keller is the Director for the Center for International Trade and Security at the University of Georgia. He is the author or editor of several books, most recently China’s Rise and the Balance of Influence in Asia, with Thomas G. Rawski, and Hitting First: Preventive Force in U.S. Security Strategy.

Scott A. Jones is the Executive Director at the Center for International Trade and Security at the University of Georgia. He is the author of The Evolution of the Ukrainian Export Control System: State Building and International Cooperation and coeditor of and contributor to Crossroads and Conflict: Security and Foreign Policy in the Caucasus and Central Asia.
