About this title

Synopsis

Presents the argument that the current Western global security posture is that of elite societies exerting control over a divided and environmentally constrained world. This text questions that entire paradigm, using examples from across the world to demonstrate the military and socio-economic futility of such a plan. Softcover, hardcover also available.
