Rewiring Regional Security in a Fragmented World

Over the past 40 years, views of security threats and conflict management needs have changed. The end of the Cold War has shifted attention from tracking superpower rivalry to civil wars and other forms of internal upheaval on nearly every continent.

The world's regions face very different security threats and have evolved very different means to address those threats. But do regions, sometimes distrustful of global institutions, have the capacity to deal with the broadening array of security challenges they face through their own regional institutions or other means? Do the approaches, innovative or otherwise, strengthen or fragment the world's capacity to respond to new threats?

These are among the questions posed in Rewiring Regional Security in a Fragmented World, a report of research carried out with IDRC support.

Longstanding contributors to the field of conflict management, the editors of this book have tapped deeply knowledgeable contributors to develop conceptual links between the fields of security and conflict management.

Panelists: Chester A. Crocker, James R. Schlesinger Professor of Strategic Studies at Georgetown University; Fen Osler Hampson, professor of international affairs and director of the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University; Pamela R. Aall, Provost for the Institute of Peace's Academy for International Conflict Management and Peacebuilding; IDRC President, David Malone, chairs the panel.
