The transformation from traditional war between nation-states to
conflict between nation-states and nonstate actors requires
decision makers, policy analysts, military commanders, intelligence
officials, and legislators to answer the question: is there a
strategy for an unwinnable conflict? This question takes on
particular urgency given the extraordinary number of conflict
points that define the current state of international relations.
Modern Geopolitics and Security: Strategies for Unwinnable
Conflicts draws on the author's extensive experience in
counterterrorism, negotiation, and the implementation of the Oslo
Peace Process with his more recent work in academia. The book uses
an interdisciplinary case study model to illustrate valuable
lessons learned and best practices in strategic analysis and
decision making that are based on international relations,
international law, and negotiation/intervention. The book defines
sovereignty, intervention, geopolitics, security, and what they
mean in a global landscape. It examines historical examples of
global crises and security concerns as well as contemporary
geopolitical issues, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,
intervention in Libya, non-intervention in Syria, the Good Friday
Agreement, the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, and the Arab
Spring. We are entering a new era, where disaffected individuals
who are willing and able to act, have more power and potential
influence than ever before. Conflicts like those occurring in
Egypt, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, and elsewhere are all
complex organisms-nuanced as never before. Add in increasing
regional asymmetrical conflicts, increasing global economic strain,
social media and the accelerating speed of communication,
ideological and regional state versus nonstate conflicts-such as in
the case of al-Qaeda and other such movements-and traditional
"business as usual" geopolitics is being somewhat turned on its
head. Modern Geopolitics and Security addresses topics that aren't
currently covered anywhere-establishing a new paradigm to rethink
modern geopolitics, given new and emerging challenges to
traditional schools of thought. View an article by Amos N. Guiora
