Conflict and Peace
The 20th century was the most bloody in history and already conflict in this century has taken a heavy toll. Most wars are now within countries rather than between states and often it is civilians that suffer most, especially women and children.

Globalization
Globalization can be a force for equality — there’s more access to information that can spread awareness and change people’s lives. But it can also be seen as the embodiment of inequality — the rich world’s rabid consumption of resources comes at the expense of poor countries, forced to cut costs and corners to compete.

Global Terrorism
In just a few years terrorism and the war against it has become a central theme of political talk and government policy. This No-Nonsense Guide introduces a highly accessible history of terrorism, looking at core examples from the Middle East and elsewhere, instances of state terrorism, and the terrorist fringes of political movements. It also delves beneath the surface, with political and moral analysis of the causes and contexts of terrorism, the theories that justify and guide terrorist acts, and the battle of images that accompanies them.
