Among the more vigorous therapies for this kind of disorder is revitalizing local public security institutions --the police, judiciary, and penal system.
This volume presents insights into the process of restoring public security gleaned from a wide range of practitioners and academic specialists. Following on from Custom Maid Spin, Peter de Krassel turns his unique international perspective and controversial pen onto the business of war. In the course of reviewing the conflicts of the 20th century and today, he argues that to end, or at least minimize, the cycle of 21st century violence humanity is inflicting on itself, America must lead the peaceful charge for change.
To do so Americans need to learn and understand the reasons for war and how future wars can be stopped. War is no the answer to hunger, oil, territorial expansion, ethnic cleansing or the survival of America. On the contrary it is its escalating destructive downfall. He points to China's re-emergence as a global power as America's greatest challenge - and one that must be resolved peacefully.
America must keep in mind the warning by the Greek historian Thucydides, more than 2, years ago, that belief in the inevitability of conflict can become one of its main causes. In other words, America cannot afford to become a victim of its own political spin " Peter de Krassel's treatment on war reads like a journalistic account of Heart of Darkness.

Russia, for so long a peripheral presence, had become the central actor in a new global drama.
In this groundbreaking book, renowned scholar Bobo Lo analyzes the broader context of the crisis by examining the interplay between Russian foreign policy and an increasingly anarchic international environment. He argues that Moscow's approach to regional and global affairs reflects the tension between two very different worlds—the perceptual and the actual.

The new world dis order The emergence of a new world order after the Soviet collapse is contested by some scholars, who see the events of the early s as a merely continuation and part of an order that had already been established with World War II.
