Features: A fundamental reference work for observing the current international crisis! "Paul Rogers belongs to those dangerous people who can change your thinking." "Disorder—Global Security in the 21st Century" lifts the veil on security and delivers a wake-up call analysis of the true global security issues—growing insecurity and unsustainable development. For many Westerners, the threat of terrorist attacks has become a stark reality. Maintaining control over global security is the overriding task of all Western nations. Paul Rogers boldly challenges Western security concepts and highlights the core issues of global insecurity. This book is a fundamental reference work for understanding the current international crisis. In this version, Rogers even accurately predicted the United States' possible response to such major terrorist attacks. Rogers analyzes the legacy of Cold War weapons of mass destruction, the impact of human behavior on the global ecosystem, the rise of supercapitalism and the poverty and insecurity it breeds, the competition for energy and strategic resources, biological weapons, and paramilitary actions against power centers.
