Opis

Global Security Beyond the Millennium offers American and Russian perspectives on the evolution of the US-Russian post-Cold War security relationship, obstacles and opportunities in bilateral cooperation and critical security challenges for the two countries on the threshold of the twenty-first century. American and Russian contributors discuss prospects for managing a range of issues encompassing both traditional military aspects of security, as well as in-depth exploration of the broader non-military dimensions of international security. The book is designed to challenge readers to think about some of the most pressing security issues of our time and the roles and responsibilities of the United States and Russia in preserving global stability and peace beyond the millennium.
