Although the Cold War may be over, the new weaponry of mass destruction remains, in many different forms and in many different hands. If unchanged, argues Edward Gulick, the present international system with its older framework and newer capabilities virtually guarantees global desolation and nuclear winter. Our chances of survival hinge on substantial changes in the system itself. Gulick looks at major events of the twentieth century and draws from his thirty-year experience as professor and scholar of history to propose a series of common-sense alterations to the structure of our present world system, including major acts of global statesmanship leading to minimal, but sufficient, world governance. Scholars of world history, international relations, and global issues will be especially interested in this book.
