As the 'War on Terror' evolves into the 'Long War' against
Islamo-fascism, it demands an enduring commitment to ensuring the
security of the United States and its allies. This policy is based
on the requirement to maintain control in a fractured and
unpredictable global environment, while paying little attention to
the underlying issues that lead to insecurity. It is an approach
that is manifestly failing, as the continuing problems in
Afghanistan and Iraq demonstrate.
Moreover, 'control' implies the maintenance of a global order
that focuses on power remaining in the hands of a transnational
elite community, principally focused on North America and Western
Europe, but extending worldwide. This elite largely ignores
socio-economic divisions and environmental constraints, and sees
continuing stability as being best achieved by the maintenance of
the status quo, using force when necessary.
This collection of essays by Professor Paul Rogers argues that
this post-Cold War security paradigm is fundamentally misguided and
unsustainable. It concludes with two new essays on the need for a
new conception of global security rooted in justice and
emancipation.
Global Security and the War on Terror will be essential reading
for students and scholars of security studies, the Cold War,
international relations and development studies.
