The end of the Cold War has revolutionized the basic assumptions underlying security studies. Including North American, British, and Australian views of security, "Contemporary Security and Strategy" offers a comprehensive, objective examination that integrates strategic thought, theories of security, key issues, and developments in post-Cold War security. The book begins with a look at the leading theoretical positions, ranging from the classical strategists to the modern realists, followed by alternative approaches. This leads to an analysis of current debates within the fields of nuclear strategy, deterrence, proliferation, refugees, economics, developments in modern warfare, and the technical revolution in military affairs.
