Trouble spots

Description:

"Trouble Spots explains, through text and clear graphics, the causes of conflict - whether it is currently in progress, in abeyance or imminent unless preventative measures are taken." "The authors give a short historical background to each problem together with a summary of recent events and steps taken by participants and third or international parties to bring about a solution. The trouble spots considered in this book are not necessarily areas of military conflict: several issues with purely political and economic implications are covered, for example the availability of vital resources such as oil and water." "Trouble Spots is researched and illustrated with specially commissioned maps and diagrams, and supported by a selection of evocative photographs from around the world. It is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the causes of conflict in the contemporary world."--BOOK JACKET.
