This at-a-glance guide to global security provides a wealth of information on armed conflicts since 1946. It maps political violence, the links between poverty and conflict, assaults on human rights -- including the use of child soldiers -- and the causes of war and peace.
Extraordinary changes have taken place since the end of the Cold War. Despite the escalating violence in Iraq, and the widening war in Darfur, there has been a decline in armed conflict worldwide. The number of battle-deaths, genocides and refugees has also decreased. Many of these changes can be attributed to international activism – spearheaded by the UN – that seeks to stop ongoing wars, help negotiate peace settlements, support post-conflict reconstruction, and prevent old wars from flaring up again.
Specially designed to show detailed information on a small scale, this 'miniAtlas of Human Security' is a succinct introduction to today's most pressing security challenges.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. This at-a-glance guide to political violence and global security provides a wealth of information on armed conflicts since 1946: death tolls, assaults on human rights, including political repression and child soldiers, and the causes of war and peace. Extraordinary changes are taking place in global security. Despite the escalating violence in Iraq, and the widening war in Dafur, since the beginning of 2002 there has been a decline in armed conflict worldwide. The number of war deaths, military coups, refugees, international crises, and genocides has also decreased. Many of these changes can be attributed to international activism, spearheaded by the UN which seeks to stop ongoing wars, helps to negotiate peace settlements, supports post-conflict reconstruction, and prevents old wars from flaring up again. Drawing upon data from the Human Security Report 2005, the miniAtlas of Human Security uses colorful world maps and other graphics to chart the incidence and severity of global violence. With easy-to-read text and captions, this fourth volume in the World Bank miniAtlas series provides a visually-compelling introduction to a dramatic but largely unknown trend: the decline in the number and deadliness of armed conflicts and wars over the past 1 5 years. Specially designed to show detailed information on a small scale, it is a succinct introduction to vital trends in global conflict and today s most pressing security challenges.
