Editorial Reviews

The vision here is not of a cooperative effort to defend the planet Earth against, for example, alien invasion or even internal dangers such as global warming. Rather the contributors, Russian and US scholars of political and military science, consider the evolution of the security relations between those countries after the Cold War. They address such questions as how the security environment of the next century will differ from that of the past, whether security is now better measured in economic rather than military terms, whether national security is an outmoded notion, and what challenges the two countries might face together.
