Focusing on the evolution of deterrence strategies post-Cold War, Patrick Morgan's study provides an in-depth analysis of how global security dynamics have shifted. It examines the relevance and effectiveness of deterrence in contemporary international relations, addressing challenges and adaptations in policy. Through a critical lens, the book explores the implications of these changes for future conflicts and the role of military power in maintaining peace.

Focusing on the enduring nature of conflict, this book examines how states manage and mitigate threats to security through various strategies. It categorizes solutions from individual government actions, like power distribution and deterrence, to global approaches such as collective security. The author evaluates tactics like negotiation and peace imposition, analyzing their effectiveness across systemic, state, and societal security levels. By illustrating the interconnections between these levels, the book equips students to understand the complexities of political conflict management.
