Description


Since decolonisation, regional patterns of security have become more prominent in international politics. This book examines the interplay both among the global powers, and between them and all of the security regions that make up the contemporary international system. The main focus is on the post-Cold War period, but the history of each regional security complex is traced back to its beginnings. This book gives a clear and detailed answer to the much discussed question about the nature of the 'new world security order' that has followed the Cold.
