Modern communication links people in all corners of the globe.
Yet, at the same time, a greater separatist nationalism is brewing, one that asserts ethnic identity and demands independence and statehood. From Confrontation to Cooperation is designed to explore these questions and provide hypotheses and constructive directions for conflict resolution.

The first half of the volume explores the basic concepts of world politics, while the second half investigates the causes of war. The selections in this anthology are drawn from major theoretical writings in the field.
