Review:
This is a masterful compendium of insightful and provacative articles on issues affecting stability in the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia: governance, religion, ethnicity, ideology, demography, energy, food, the economy, natural resources, the environment, arms proliferation, and regional conflict. For governments and NGOs, the ambitious study provides an authoritative agenda for actions--practical steps can be taken now at both the national and international levels to slow, halt,k or even reverse alarming trends. For analysts and technical experts, the book's subtext is clear: global-scale collaboration among government and non-government experts should be the norm if we are to understand and meet the complex and dangerous challenges our planet faces in the twenty-first century. --John Gannon, Former Chairman, National Intelligence Council
