Abstract

The global security environment in the near future will feature accelerating, and possibly momentous, changes in the international system. The large-scale trends in this scenario are - the increasing globalization (with both beneficial and disruptive side effects); - the quickening pace of technological innovation; - the accelerating proliferation of mass destruction technologies; - the growing capacities of non-state actors relative to nation-states; - the persistence of corrosive regional, ethnic, and religious conflicts and - the increasing resource scarcity and environment degradation. Thus, the strategic global security environment with its impact on our security of the future will be characterized by continued and possibly increased instability and the potential for catalytic events.
