The world is an increasingly dangerous place, at risk from threats ranging from nuclear weapons proliferation to chemical and germ warfare, and from international crime to tribal genocide. This title uses concise, authoritative text and maps to examine and explain causes of conflict around the globe, whether in progress, in abeyance or imminent. The authors examine thematic issues like global warming and weapons of mass destruction, but focus mainly upon regional unrest, such as that in the Middle East or the Indian Subcontinent. Maps are used to support each topic, showing not only geographical features but also any factors contributing to the problem, for example ethnicity or religious allegiance. Advice on travel safety is included as well as an examination of purely political and economic issues such as the availability of key resources like oil or water. A comprehensive list of websites provides further up-to-date information. Useful for the student of international affairs and the traveller alike, this is valuable reading for anyone who wishes to understand the causes of conflict in the modern world.
