De la contraportada

Political changes since 1989 have made the world far more unstable and dangerous than it was before. The ways in which the international community deals with international crime and particularly terrorism and drug trafficking need rethinking. Richard Clutterbuck assesses the technological developments in modern weapons as well as advances in detecting explosives and spotting and convicting terrorists, criminals and drug traffickers. He looks at trials of some identification techniques that could revolutionize the safety and convenience of air travel, and asks whether this new technology could lead to a 'big brother' invasion of civil liberties. Finally, he looks at peacekeeping and peacemaking and examines the possibilities for international organizations, such as the UN and NATO, to take a more proactive role in international law enforcement. This book should be an invaluable guide to both students and security professionals. It is free from jargon and will be understood and appreciated by anyone who is concerned about violence in the world.
