Exploring a range of issues from foreign policy, arms, and terrorism to climate change and world poverty, Paul Wilkinson’s up-to-date analysis is required reading for anyone seeking new ways to understand what’s happening in our tense and uneasy world. Examining the current role of superpowers, the UN and EU, and ethnic and religious movements globally, he shows how they all variously shape the way states and governments interact.
PAUL WILKINSON is Professor of International Relations at the University of St. Andrews. In addition to authoring several books, he has served as advisor to the U.K. Government’s Inquiry into Legislation Against Terrorism and has directed a research project on the U.K.’s security preparedness, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.
