World in Conflict

After finishing the analysis about weapons of mass destruction the next series of topics will be about the conflicts we see in the world today. I hope that the readers will have been able to find some useful information and gotten a broader understanding for what kind of threats that weapons of mass destruction present. In short I would say that the risk for these types of events would take place is rather small, but the consequences can be extremely high.

The first topic out will be about a new kind of private actors: Private Military and Security Companies. The second part will be about the wars that we see in today’s world, where they have taken place and what lessons can be learned from them. The last part will address the response to today’s conflicts in form of peace building and state building missions that we seen in Iraq, Afghanistan and Bosnia to name a few examples.
