Synopsis:

The assurance of the bi-polar world government by superpowers has now given way to the uncertainty of a global system in which sources of insecurity range from the political and military to the socio-economic and environmental. In the New World Order, these conflicts become "flashpoints." For each of the major current and potential geopolitical flashpoints (some 123 current and potential conflicts from around the world are included), Global Geopolitical Flashpoints provides an essay in which the situation, issues and present status are described and analyzed. Specially commissioned maps for each conflict have been create by cartographer Don Schewan; and the description of each flashpoint ends with an extensive bibliography. Readers will include anyone with an interest in global current affairs, as well as those who must analyze and plan for them: academics, students, librarians, aid agency workers, the military, and corporate strategists.
