The Nature of Post-Cold War Security
Chapter
Abstract
The end of the East-West struggle has upset the simple bipolar lens with which the major powers were used to looking at the world. The lack of a clearly identifiable ‘enemy’ figure has contributed to the profusion of new ‘threats’ and to the neo-realist assumption that a multipolar world is, of necessity, more unstable than the bipolar system typifying the Cold War era.
