Paradoxically, the renewed emphasis on a distinctly state-centred approach to security, including the War on Terror, has unfolded during an era of deepening globalization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the international expertise of fourteen specialists, the book examines four inter-related themes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe impact of globalization on the concept of security \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe strategic outlook of the world's only superpower, the US\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe new conflicts that have come to characterize the post-Cold War era\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eefforts to regulate the emerging patterns of conflict in the world.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGlobalization and Conflict\u003c\/em\u003e will be essential reading for students of strategic studies, security studies and international relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert G.
