Irregular War Zusammenfassung

Irregular War: The New Threat from the Margins Paul Rogers

The world has changed. Rather than a clash of civilisations, the West now faces revolts from the margins, driven by widening economic divisions, rising global elites and dangerous environmental constraints. The emergence of global terrorist movements such as ISIS is indicative of a growing threat for which traditional military responses are simply not fit for purpose. At a time when the world adjusts to new international leadership - from Trump in the US to Macron in France - and as the balance of power starts to shift away from the West, this updated edition of Paul Rogers' acclaimed book looks at the new challenges facing global security, and how we might start to address them.

Irregular War Bewertungen

'important and thought-provoking' - The Guardian, 'The catastrophe of the so-called 'war on terror' exposed in brilliant detail by the towering intellect of Prof. Paul Rogers.' --Owen Jones, 'A masterly summary of a debate that we are emphatically not having, but which we certainly should.' -- Michael Clarke, Former Director General, Royal United Services Institute, 'A clear and authoritative account of what is really going on and how the conventional wisdom on security needs an urgent rethink. Compelling reading' --Rosemary Hollis, Professor of International Politics, City, University of London, 'It's hard to disagree with Rogers's prediction that these wars will carry on for decades...there is no end in sight. - LRB
