The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   NATO and Weapons of Mass Destruction by Eric Terzuolo This is the first detailed examination of NATO's role in the post-Cold War world in which the main threat to global civil society is now from Weapons of Mass Destruction. FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description This is the first book that examines in detail how NATO, an institution with deep roots in the Cold War, has adapted to one of the new threats currently dominating global civil society - that of Weapons of Mass Destruction. It looks critically at where NATO has been effective in addressing WMD proliferation threats, and where it has not made a major contribution. It explains the reasons why, illustrating the difficulties that established multilateral institutions, not just NATO, have in addressing new challenges. Finally, the book points the way ahead. Of existing multilateral institutions, only NATO has intervened militarily with success in high-risk situations. It has unique experience in the military aspects of post-conflict stabilization under conditions of considerable residual risk. Improving the alliance's ability to perform these roles in the face of WMD threats is a top objective. Building habits of cooperation within and among partner countries is something else NATO does well, and is part of a broad-ranging international effort to deal more effectively with new risks.Defining NATO's role in the international institutional architecture for dealing with proliferation-related threats remains a challenge. The alliance also should be one important forum for addressing questions about the construction of new post-Cold War security rules, but much will depend on the policies of NATO's largest member, the USA, currently sceptical of traditional multilateralism. The book will be of interest to students of NATO, defence policy, weapons proliferation and Security Studies in general.

Selected Bibliography Review 'A well-researched book ... Recommended.' - Choice'An original study.' - The International Spectator Long Description Architecture of Consequencebegan life as the Dutch presentation at the Sao Paolo Architecture Biennale in 2009. "Shape our country!" was the call that the Netherlands Architecture Institute (NAi) made to its public over a six-month period. The result was a deluge of proposals, as the people of the Netherlands rose to the challenge of naming their needs: new guidelines for food production, alternative energy sources, solutions for space shortage, social cohesion, a healthy living environment and the recalibration of economic value. Formulating responses to such fundamental questions of our time is, it seems, everyone's business. All of the above issues converge at spatial planning and design, where real opportunities for social innovation still await. For this project, the Netherlands Architecture Institute selected 22 Dutch architecture firms with genuinely innovative ideas on these seven imperatives and the will to do something about them. The result is an agenda for the future of our living environment and a proof that designers have the creative power to make it happen. Architecture of Consequenceproves that any notion that architecture should be an "expression of its time," or should do no more than express the vanity of its commissioners, pales into insignificance when compared to its tremendous potential for resolving urgent societal problems.

NATO was hugely successful in facing off the Soviet Union during the Cold War. But has it been equally successful in addressing the new threats of the post-Cold War era? This new study assesses the organization’s political and military initiatives, and how its outreach to Russia, Ukraine, and other countries in the Euro-Atlantic and Mediterranean regions, devoted considerable attention to WMD proliferation risks. It also probes the political factors, both inside and outside NATO, as well as resource constraints, which have limited the alliance's added value in the international community's effort to combat proliferation. The events of 11 September 2001 and bitter intra-alliance controversy over the 2003 Iraq intervention have highlighted questions regarding NATO's future role, and even its continued viability. This is a serious reflection on how the alliance should figure in the fight against WMD and terrorist threats and an examination of today’s key issues, including the use of force in international relations and the possibility of constructing new, post-Cold War collective security rules. This is the first study to evaluate, critically and in-depth, how a long-standing security organization has adapted - and must continue to adapt - to the global security challenges of our time. This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of international politics, military history and all readers interested in the future of NATO and international security.
