This book addresses the issue of grand strategic stability in the
21st century, and examines the role of the key centres of global
power - US, EU, Russia, China and India - in managing contemporary
strategic threats. This edited volume examines the cooperative and
conflictual capacity of Great Powers to manage increasingly
interconnected strategic threats (not least, terrorism and
political extremism, WMD proliferation, fragile states, regional
crises and conflict and the energy-climate nexus) in the 21st
century. The contributors question whether global order will
increasingly be characterised by a predictable interdependent
one-world system, as strategic threats create interest-based
incentives and functional benefits. The work moves on to argue that
the operational concept of world order is a Concert of Great Powers
directing a new institutional order, norms and regimes whose
combination is strategic-threat specific, regionally sensitive,
loosely organised, and inclusive of major states (not least Brazil,
Turkey, South Africa and Indonesia). Leadership can be singular,
collective or coalition-based and this will characterise the nature
of strategic stability and world order in the 21st century. This
book will be of much interest to students of international
security, grand strategy, foreign policy and IR. Graeme P. Herd is
Co-Director of the International Training Course in Security Policy
at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP). He is co-author of
several books and co-editor of The Ideological War on Terror: World
Wide Strategies for Counter Terrorism (2007), Soft Security Threats
and European Security (2005), Security Dynamics of the former
Soviet Bloc (2003) and Russia and the Regions: Strength through
Weakness (2003).
