Since September 11, 2001, many governments have reasserted the
centrality of traditional, military-focused security. Yet the
aftermath of the ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq underlines
once more that lasting security is not found in soldiers, bullets,
and tanks. "Security" concerns are only in part about violent
conflict, a worst-case outcome that results from a broad range of
underlying vulnerabilities. Worldwatch offers a broader perspective
on these issues by reaffirming the importance of other,
less-publicized threats to global stability and security: the
complex interactions between environmental degradation, poverty,
and inequity; growing human populations; and the international
proliferation of deadly weapons. Emphasizing the opportunities for
creating a less vulnerable, more secure world, "State of the World
2005" addresses a broad range of needed reforms, including those
related to governance, economics, ethics, and education. With
easy-to-read charts and tables, this volume presents a view of our
changing world that we, and our leaders, cannot afford to ignore.
