The authors combine an operational theory of regional security with an empirical application across the whole of the international system. Individual chapters cover Africa, the Balkans, CIS Europe, East Asia, EU Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America, and South Asia. The main focus is on the post-Cold War period, but the history of each regional security complex is traced back to its beginnings. By relating the regional dynamics of security to current debates about the global power structure, the authors unfold a distinctive interpretation of post-Cold War international security, avoiding both the extreme oversimplifications of the unipolar view, and the extreme deterritorialisations of many globalist visions of a new world disorder. Their framework brings out the radical diversity of security dynamics in different parts of the world. 410 0$aCambridge studies in international relations ;$v91. 517 3 $aRegions & Powers 606 $aRegionalism (International organization) 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aWorld politics$y21st century 615 0$aRegionalism (International organization) 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a327.116 700 $aBuzan$b Barry$0545622 702 $aWæver$b Ole$f1960- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810811203321 996 $aRegions and powers$94029457 997 $aUNINA
