Security in Crisis seeks to provide an analysis of the complex combinations of political and technological understandings entailed in what it terms as 'planetary crisis management'.

Technology is represented as either the solution to or the cause of modern security problems. This book assesses how these two views collide in debates over the promotion of ballistic missile defence, a complex, costly and controversial system intended to defend the United States from nuclear missile attacks.
