The Geopolitics of American Insecurity
A History of Violence
Realist academics wrote some of the most lucid critiques of the geopolitics of anger initiated after 9/11 by the Bush administration: John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, in particular, began to interrogate the War on Terror with lines of inquiry that lead back to the critiques of U.S. foreign policy—and the ‘fantasies’ and ‘self-deception’ of policy makers—developed in the 1960s by Hans Morgenthau and Hannah Arendt.

On the basis of all this intellectual noise one would assume that Beck's work would provide a useful starting point from which to understand the myriad complexities of ecopo…
