Summary
This book is about security in a world undergoing rapid change. It examines how the shift of power away from the traditional American-European axis will affect security in the coming decades.
Exploring issues such as military intervention, cyber-security, and the protection of the global commons, it analyses the new parameters of security in the world as they relate to Western power and Western decline. In doing so, it brings together a very diverse group of authors, from both the West and East, and from the academic and practitioner worlds.
This book will be of key interest to students and scholars of international relations, U.S. and European Security, and transatlantic relations.
