About this title

Synopsis

Comprehensive Security for the Baltic explores the extent to which regional cooperation on environmental protection and natural-resource utilization serves as a confidence-building measure that fosters comprehensive international security.

The contributors first provide an overview of the concept of regional political security and the extent to which environmental security might contribute to the former. They then give a detailed overview of the Baltic, examining the formal mechanisms and organizations for regional environmental cooperation, and formulating the means for building regional confidence. Finally they consider the extent to which regional security contributes to a sustainable future, not only at the regional level, but also, ultimately, at the global level.

Review

`It provides a detailed and valuable survey of the agencies for international cooperation' - Global Environmental Change

`As I read this book, the news media frequently reminded me that the oil wells of Kuwait were still burning ferociously, spreading pollution in the air and contaminating the desert, several months after the cessation of hostilities in the Gulf. The book was written and published before the war started, but its timeliness and the importance of the subject matter have been emphasized by what happened in the Middle East in the early months of 1991. The book ends on an optimistic note, in putting great faith in the development of an understanding amongst the world's peoples that the destruction of the environment can be in no one's best interest. I am still not sure that the Gulf war has brought such an understanding any closer' - Medicine and War
