Complete set Since 1961 the Adelphi Papers have provided some of
the most informed accounts of international and strategic
relations. Produced by the world renowned International Institute
of Strategic Studies, each paper provides a short account of a
subject of topical interest by a leading military figure, policy
maker or academic. The project reprints the first forty years of
papers, arranged into thematic sets. The collection as a whole
provides a rich and insightful account of international affairs
during a period which spans the second half of the Cold War, the
fall of the communist bloc and the emergence of a new regime with
the United States as the sole superpower. There is a wealth of
global coverage: Four volumes on east and southeast Asia as well as
individual volumes on China, Japan and Korea Particular attention
is given to the Middle East, with volumes addressing internal
sources of instability; geo-politics and the role of the
superpowers; the Israel-Palestine conflict; and the Iran-Iraq War
and the first Gulf War. There is also a volume on oil and
insecurity There are also two volumes on Africa, the site of most
of the world's wars during the period. The IISS has obviously made
a particular contribution to the understanding of military
strategy, and this is reflected with material on topics such as
urban and guerrilla warfare, nuclear deterrence and the role of
information in modern warfare. Volumes on military strategy are
complemented by approaches from other disciplines, such as defence
economics. Key selling points: Early papers were only distributed
by the IISS and will have achieved limited penetration of the
academic market A host of major authors on a range of different
subjects (eg Gerald Segal on China, Michael Leifer on Southeast
Asia, Sir Lawrence Freidman on the revolution in military affairs,
Raymond Vernon on multinationals and defence economics) Individual
volumes will have a strong appeal to different markets (eg the
volume on defence economics for economists, various volumes for
Asian Studies etc)
