Overview for Rethinking Security: UN and the New Threats
A High Level Panel was subsequently set-up by the UN Secretary General to examine the critical threats and make recommendations to address these through the United Nations. This book reflects the collective view from South Asia as to the nature of these challenges and hw to address them through international action. This is a major contribution to this enormously important debate around the world in our times.
