Produktbeschreibung

1989 was by any standards an extraordinary year: the year in which the Cold War came to an end. However, although much has changed, much remains unfinished, unresolved, or not changed at all. The contributions to this volume draw attention to these problems and make it clear that it is only through cooperation that we can gain global security.
