Overview

What role should national militaries play in an increasingly globalised and interdependent world?

Reviews

The book is a magnificent blend of both the theories behind, and the practical ventures of, the cosmopolitan conflict resolution paradigm. ... This book is a valuable contribution and recommended reading for students of peace and security studies, conflict management and international politics. Equally, it is a useful guidebook for researchers, practitioners and policymakers for understanding the evolution of conflict resolution through cosmopolitan military engagement. (Sajjad Ahmed, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, April, 2016)
