This at-a-glance guide to global security provides a wealth of
information on armed conflicts since 1946. It maps political violence,
the links between poverty and conflict, assaults on human rights
– including the use of child soldiers – and the causes of
war and peace.
Extraordinary changes have taken place since the end of the Cold
War. Despite the escalating violence in Iraq, and the widening war in
Darfur, there has been a decline in armed conflict worldwide. The
number of battle-deaths, genocides and refugees has also decreased.
Many of these changes can be attributed to international activism
– spearheaded by the UN – that seeks to stop ongoing wars,
help negotiate peace settlements, support post-conflict reconstruction,
and prevent old wars from flaring up again.
Specially designed to show detailed information on a small scale,
this miniAtlas of Human Security is a succinct introduction to
today’s most pressing security challenges.
