Averting Global War: Regional Challenges, Overextension, and Options for American StrategyPalgrave Macmillan, 2007 - 284 pagine Averting Global War examines major regional disputes and conflicts throughout the world as they impact upon both American domestic and foreign policy. These include: The ongoing "war on terrorism"; NATO enlargement to Russian borders; US intervention in Iraq; US confrontation with Iran; the feud between Israel and the Palestinians; the widening "zone of conflict" from Central Asia to sub-Saharan Africa; the global ramifications of North Korea's nuclear program and China's claims to Taiwan; Venezuela's "Bolivarian Revolution" and the "war on drugs" in Latin America, the domestic socio-political effects of Latin American immigration upon the US. The book's goal is to articulate an irenic American strategy intended to resolve, or at least transform, a number of these disputes and conflicts so as to prevent them from further "deepening" or "widening"--and to avert the real possibility of major power confrontation involving both clandestine and overt methods of warfare. |
