Title: Averting Global War
First published: December 26, 2007
Description: "Averting Global War examines major regional disputes and conflicts throughout the world as they impact upon both American domestic and foreign policy. These include: The ongoing 'war on terrorism'; NATO enlargement to Russian borders; US intervention in Iraq; US confrontation with Iran; the feud between Israel and the Palestinians; the widening 'zone of conflict' from Central Asia to sub-Saharan Africa; the global ramifications of North Korea's nuclear program and China's claims to Taiwan; Venezuela's 'Bolivarian Revolution' and the 'war on drugs' in Latin America, the domestic socio-political effects of Latin American immigration upon the US. The book's goal is to articulate an irenic American strategy intended to resolve, or at least transform, a number of these disputes and conflicts so as to prevent them from further 'deepening' or 'widening' -- and to avert the real possibility of major power confrontation involving both clandestine and overt methods of warfare."--Book cover.
