World Order: The Mechanics of Threats (Central European Perspective)
World Order: The Mechanics of Threats (Central European Perspective)

Summary/Abstract: The most important trend of contemporary global civilization is the ever strengthening interconnections between events; those that take place in some regions of the globe resonate, directly or indirectly, in others. This results from tremendous technology growth, notably in communications and transport, which enables quick and relatively easy flow of information, capital, goods and unrestrained movement of people. With the latter, the matter is more complicated, although no insurmountable obstacles exist in this respect. We should finally note the technological advance in military means of destruction, and ever more acute problem of nuclear weapons proliferation. Modern weapons are available not only to states with relatively reasonable political systems, but also to those, whose actions are unpredictable and difficult to control. In addition, those states are often located in key strategic regions of the world. Combined, all these factors determine the nature of threats that humankind faces at present.
