Peace, Security and Development in an Era of Globalization (International Relations Studies Series)

0/5 ( ratings)

This book explores the integrated security approach in general, and more in particular in relation to states after regime-change and post-conflict states. The integrated security approach is analyzed from various perspectives and starting from various scientific disciplines. On the one hand this raises highly specific questions like: what is CIMIC and how does it function in practice? On the other hand the book has broader ambitions and tries to see the current debate on regime change in dictatorial or fundamental regimes and the process of reconstruction afterwards against the background of a wider discussion on globalization and the war against terrorism.
