Leira, Halvard , Joakim Hertzberg Ulstein
(2013). Globale sikkerhetstrusler. Oslo, NUPI. 53 pages. Denne rapporten tar for seg hva som ligger i begrepet globale sikkerhetstrusler og analyserer hvordan fem globale aktører - EU, USA, Russland, Kina og Brasil - forholder seg til slike trusler. Et hovedfunn er at «globale sikkerhetstrusler» og nærliggende begreper må forstås politisk, de benyttes i betydelig grad for å skape oppmerksomhet om fenomener som aktører med håp om definisjonsmakt opplever som viktige.
