Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

xii, 340 pages. Notes. Tables. Bibliography. Name Index. Subject Index. Minor edge soiling. This is one of the Contemporary Security Studies Series. Professor Raimo Väyrynen was President of the Academy of Finland from 2004 to 2007 and Director of the Finnish Institute of International Affairs from 2007 to 2009. He has been Professor of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA, and at the University of Helsinki, Finland. He was also the Director of the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies, University of Helsinki, from 2002 to 2004. Between 1975 and 1987, he was a member or adviser in seven diplomatic delegations appointed by the Government of Finland on the law of the sea, non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, disarmament and development and the UN General Assembly. From 1988 until 1991, he served as the Chair on the Advisory Board for Disarmament at the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs. He has also served as a Consultant of UNESCO, UNIDO, UN Centre on Transnational Corporations, United Nations University, UN Development Programme and UN Department for Disarmament Affairs. He is a member of several organizations and boards including: the Board of the International Peace Research Institute ? Oslo (PRIO), European Union Research Organizations Heads of Research Councils (EUROHORCs); European Research Advisory Board; the High Council of the European University Institute; member of the General Assembly and the Governing Council of the European Science Foundation. He has authored numerous books and articles. This book is a systematic effort by leading international scholars to map the trends in major-power warfare and explore whether it is waxing or waning. The main point of departure is that major-power war as a historical institution is in decline. This does not mean, though, that wars between states are in general disappearing. While there is some convergence in the conclusions by individual authors, they are by no means unanimous about the trend. The articles explore different causes and correlates of the declining trend in major-power warfare, including the impact of the international structure, nuclear weapons, international law, multilateral institutions, sovereignty and value changes. The Table of Contents includes: Introduction, Raimo Väyrynen, Waning of Major War: Contending Views; 1. Paul W. Schroeder, Debating the Waning of Major War; 2. John Mueller, Does War Still Exist?; 3. Marie T. Henehen and John Vasquez, The Changing Probability of Interstate War, 1816-1992; 4. Peter Wallensteen, Major War is Not Waning, Yet; 5. Martin van Creveld, The Decline of Major War: Nuclear Weapons and International Law; 6. T. V. Paul, Does the Risk of Nuclear War Belong to History?; 7. Kalevi J. Holsti, The Changing International System and the Decline of Major War; 8. Patrick M. Morgan, Multilateral Institutions and Major War; 9. Hendrik Spruyt, Normative Transformations in International Relations and the Waning of Major War; 10. William R. Thompson, Democratic Peace, Civil Society, and Major War; 11. Raimo Väyrynen, Capitalism, Peace, and War; and Raimo Väyrynen, Conclusion.…
