Of the making of books about international security there would appear to be no end. Yet, as irritating as it might seem to some, there is perhaps even more need for such books now as at the height of the Cold War. Why? Because as I read it at least, we are entering a period where the convenient signposts that have largely dominated the thinking and practice of conflict for the last three hundred years are becoming less and less reliable as guides.
There are, of course, many reasons for this, and it is neither my intention nor my task to elaborate them here. Some of the major themes are in any case discussed in Caroline Kennedy-Pipes chapter, From Cold Wars to New Wars. None the less, it is worth emphasizing that rapidly changing landscapes usually require new maps, continually updated, and thus the variety of contemporary approaches to and discussions of what we might refer to as the frameworks of conflict are to be welcomed as providing us with the outlines of these maps.
This book, which I had the good fortune to read in manuscript, is a very welcome addition to the new map-making task. It offers a very broad and thoughtful reading of the way in which some of the major contemporary players in the security business conceive of their roles, dangers and opportunities as well as some very useful discussions of certain themes that are widely perceived as central to the new frameworks.
