Abstract

It is impossible to separate struggles over energy from modern security relations, the global economy, or international development. For seven decades, an 'oil for security' deal between the US and the Persian Gulf has been at the core of international stability. Now we are at a moment of geopolitical flux : the rising Asian powers, India and China, are increasingly dependent on Middle East oil and gas, while Russia is seeking a new energy partnership with China; an energy revolution across the Americas is shifting the center of gravity of global energy markets; the energy demands of the rising global middle class pose acute challenges to governance and to development; the US role in securing energy flows from the Middle East is in question. All this amounts to a 'risk pivot' in international security.

Abstract

These evocative stories bring to life the tragic personal impact of the Cultural Revolution on the families of China's intellectuals. Now adults, survivors recall their childhood during the tumultuous years between 1965 and 1976, when Mao's death finally drew a curtain on a bitterly failed social and political experiment

Abstract

Bruce Jones investigates why the wide-ranging efforts to forestall genocidal violence in Rwanda in 1994 failed so miserably. Jones traces the individual and collective impact of both official and unofficial mediation efforts, peacekeeping missions, and humanitarian aid. Providing theoretical and empirical evidence, he shows that the failure of the peace process was not the result of lack of effort, or even the weakness of any particular effort. Rather, it was due to a combination of factors: the lack of connections among the various attempts at conflict resolution; the intransigence of the warring parties; the lack of a coherent strategy for managing spoilers in the peace process; and weak international support. Peacemaking in Rwanda generates critical insights into the limits of our contemporary systems for conflict prevention and management, serving as a sobering argument for reform of the international conflict management system.

Abstract

For centuries, oceans were the chessboard on which empires battled for dominance. In the nuclear age, air power and missile systems dominated our worries about security, and for the United States, the economy was largely driven by domestic production, with trucking and railways that crisscrossed the continent the primary modes of commercial transit. Now nine-tenths of global commerce and the bulk of energy trade is today linked to sea-based flows. The author conducts us on a fascinating voyage through the great modern ports and naval bases of this era, showing how global commerce works - and why the oceans are so crucial to America's standing going forward.
