Cooperating for Peace and Security

Cooperating for Peace and Security attempts to understand - more than fifteen years after the end of the Cold War seven years after 9/11 and in the aftermath of the failure of the United Nations (UN) reform initiative - the relationship between US security interests and the factors that drove the evolution of multilateral security arrangements from 1989 to the present. Chapters cover a range of topics - including the UN US multilateral cooperation the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) nuclear nonproliferation European and African security institutions conflict mediation counterterrorism initiatives international justice and humanitarian cooperation - examining why certain changes have taken place and the factors that have driven them and evaluating whether they have led to a more effective international system and what this means for facing future challenges.
