During the 1990s, the nature of world affairs underwent significant change unparalleled since the end of World War II. The decade witnessed neither a New World Order nor the End of History. The new world could rather be characterized as one in which we could find a juxtaposition of order and disorder. It is against this backdrop that this book addresses the future of strategic studies with particular emphasis on the following four areas: the possibilities and opportunities present in enlarging the Western zone of cooperatively organized international affairs; regional security problems and dynamics; new security challenges; and the future instruments and dimensions of security policy. The book contains contributions by scholars working in the fields of international relations and security studies.

This book addresses the issues of international security after the end
of the Cold War. It looks at key changes that have taken place since
1989, analyzes the main issues, and considers those trends that are
likely to shape international security policy in the coming decades.
This book contains two different studies. In the first, researchers from
the International Institute of Strategic Studies, the Graduate
Institute of International Studies and the RAND Corporation offer their
views on the development of post-Cold War security policy. The second
part comprises of cases studies that focus on future challenges in
European and US security policy. The book concludes with a comparative
analysis by the editors who attempt to identify discernible trends and
to raise those questions whose resolution will be decisive for the
development of international security in the 21st century.
The report, published jointly by ACA and PGS, concludes that
approximately 80 percent of the 67 national commitments made by 30
global leaders at the 2010 summit in Washington have been completed.
The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) has already helped to bring
an end to nuclear testing, reduced nuclear arms competition, and
improved global capabilities to detect and deter nuclear testing in the
future. But until the CTBT enters into force, the door to renewed
testing is still open. Entry into force requires ratification by a
handful of key states.
As the United States and other international leaders continue to
pursue a range of strategies to head-off the possibility of a
nuclear-armed Iran, the non-partisan Arms Control Association has
produced a comprehensive, entry-level guide to Iran's nuclear program
and its capabilities, and the risks, benefits, and limitations of the
available policy options.
