Book Multilateralism Versus Regionalism

Download or read book Multilateralism Versus Regionalism written by Meine Pieter van Dijk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-28 with total page 258 pages.

The volume, on the whole, takes up where the newly created World Trade Organization will have to start.

Book Behavior  Culture  and Conflict in World Politics

Download or read book Behavior Culture and Conflict in World Politics written by William Zimmerman and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost a half-century the Cold War, its presumed origins, and its anticipated consequences blinded most scholars to the global problems underlying the conflict. With the sudden demise of the Cold War, it is clear that new thinking about conflict in world politics is essential. Assembling research from a variety of disciplines and cultural perspectives, Behavior, Culture, and Conflict in World Politics indicates that conflict between states is not substantially different from conflict within families or societies. Based on this fundamental assertion, the contributors take the first steps toward articulating a general theory of conflict.

Book Military R D after the Cold War

Download or read book Military R D after the Cold War written by Philip Gummett and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries establish defence industries for various reasons. Chief among these are usually a concern with national security, and a desire to be as independent as possible in the supply of the armaments which they believe they need. But defence industries are different from most other industries. Their customer is governments. Their product is intended to safeguard the most vital interests of the state. The effectiveness of these products (in the real, rather than the experimental sense) is not normally tested at the time of purchase. If, or when, it is tested, many other factors (such as the quality of political and military leadership) enter into the equation, so complicating judgments about the quality of the armaments, and about the reliability of the promises made by the manufacturers. All of these features make the defence sector an unusually political industrial sector. This has been true in both the command economies of the former Soviet Union and its satellites, and in the market or mixed economies of the west. In both cases, to speak only a little over-generally, the defence sector has been particularly privileged and particularly protected from the usual economic vicissitudes. In both cases, too, its centrality to the perceived vital interests of the state has given it an unusual degree of political access and support.
