Regional Conflicts cover

This is the second volume of a two-part study on international issues in the post cold-war era. Ten authors consider regional conflicts, how relations among the great powers could be affected by such conflicts and how co-operation among the leading nations, especially Russia and the United States, might influence the course of regional strife. The end of the cold war closed one chapter in history - the global struggle between the USA and USSR. It has not brought an end to regional conflicts. This volume analyses three broad categories of regional conflicts: * Countries in the developing world where US and Russian interests are more or less equally engaged * Countries of special interest to one or more of the great powers, and * Countries where there is no overriding Russian or US national security interest. The challenge to US-Russian co-operation is examined under the major headings of preventive diplomacy in an era of high technology, dilemmas of US-Russian security co-operation and international security organizations as instruments for great power co-operation.

No-one is better suited to expand the universe for cooperation between the United States and Russia than James Goodby ... Goodby draws on an impressive group of authors to apply the same pragmatism to the problems of regional conflict ... very thought-provoking and interesting ... In sum, Regional Conflicts: The Challenge to US-Russian Co-operation is best when it concentrates on learning from past US-Russian experience in arms control and CSBMs ... a refreshing examination of the necessity of continuing cooperation, and of how best to accomplish it. * RUSI Journal *
This collection of essays is an interesting and timely work, raising some of the most salient issues regarding security after the end of the Cold War. * Europe Asia Studies *
