This book would not have been possible without the support of many people in
our lives who continue to inspire. We especially would like to thank the anonymous
reviewers who offered exceptional advice and guidance on how to improve our work
and develop the many themes running throughout this text. We thank our colleagues
at Thompson Rivers University and Royal Roads University who have provided
encouragement over the years, including our editor at University of Toronto Press,
Mark Thompson, who has offered outstanding support and direction since we began
this project. We would also like to extend thanks to our copyeditor, Leanne Rancourt,
for her help, and a special thanks to John Ravenhill at the Balsillie School of Interna-
tional Affairs in Waterloo for providing a quiet place to write during the final stages
of this text’s production. We are also grateful for the invaluable assistance provided by
Bryan and Shannon Robinson, as well as Lisa Hanlon. Finally, it would not be pos-
sible to write such a book without the inspiration we have gained over the years from
our graduate students in the Human Security and Peacebuilding Program at Royal
Roads University. The motivation and brilliance that they bring to the classroom is
an everyday reminder that there are many of us who care deeply about what happens
to the marginalized and vulnerable people on our planet. We wrote this book with
our students in mind, and hope that this small contribution may offer some helpful
thoughts on how we believe the world can become a little more secure.
