Description
What are the new challenges facing the world, and how have the global governance structures adapted to address them? This book examines the new elements that define international security in the post-Cold War era. Among some of the topics are Russian neo-imperialism, the European Union as a model for regional organizations, the future of NATO, Canada and human security in Afghanistan, China in the Middle East, ballistic missile defence, self-determination versus territorial integrity in South Ossetia, balancing security and human rights in Asia, humanitarian intervention and its failure in Darfur, and the attempt to limit the proliferation of small arms. With the structures of global governance continuing to reflect the security challenges of yesterday, geopolitical shifts of the 21st century pose new threats that the system of governance is struggling to meet.
