This book is a comprehensive survey of changes that have occurred in the post-Cold War international environment. The author examines the most significant economic, demographic, technological and military trends and assesses their significance in the emerging new correlation of forces. The core argument of the volume is that the sweeping changes in the international system have created conditions of prolonged instability that will continue into the 21st century. The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, resurgent nationalism, trade wars, the demographic explosion and the fast pace of the technological revolution are among the subjects studied in Professor Platias' latest book.
