Statistics show that today many more people are killed by ethnic conflicts, HIV/AIDS or the proliferation of small arms than by international war. Moreover, non-state actors, such as non-governmental organizations, private military companies and international regimes, are progressively complementing or even replacing states in the provision of security. Suggesting that such developments can be understood as part of a shift from government to governance in international security, this book examines both how private actors have become one of the main sources of insecurity in the contemporary world and how non-state actors play a growing role in combating these threats.International relationsPolitics and warInternational RelationsMilitary and Defence StudiesInternational relations.Politics and war.International Relations.Military and Defence Studies.355/.033Krahmann ElkeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911138285603321UNINA
