Abstract

Post‐cold war regional instability is exacerbated not by a general sort of "ethnic conflict" as many claim, but rather by a number of intertwined issues relating to ethnicity, nationalism, religion, economic inequality, environmental degradation, and political beliefs. The contemporary propensity to resolve such issues by violent means is intensifed by weapons proliferation, terrorism, and international narcotics trafficking. The nature of the post‐cold war international arena demands that the U.S. respond to threats to its economic, political, and security interests in a multilateral forum. The goal: to establish regional security regimes which are likely to succeed at stabilization.
