Opis

Security has tended to be seen as based on military force, yet this illusion is crumbling before our eyes in the conflict zones of Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa. This book tackles the global human security problem across the range of core issues including terrorism, nuclear proliferation, access to water, food security, and loss of biodiversity.
