Description
Cooperative Security is an examination of the ever-increasing roles of the United States, the Russian coalition, and the European Community in establishing new world order and monitoring the relations and boundaries of third world countries.
With the end of the Cold War, conflicts have erupted in regions which were formerly contained by the former, prevalent system of world order. A team of ten American and former Soviet experts embarked on a two year cooperative project to investigate methods of reducing conflicts in third world countries. In defining “cooperative security,” the editors ascertain the patterns of conflict in specific regions, and conclude with security prospects for the future.
