Global Security in the Twenty First Century - The Challenge to International Organizations, Alliances and Coalitions

Abstract

The increasing effects of globalization mean a reduction in the power of individual states to act unilaterally; this applies across the spectrum of international activities but it is particularly significant in the security environment. International organizations designed to meet the requirements of the past have yet to evolve to meet the requirements of the future. Traditional concepts of collective security on the NATO model will need to adapt, and move towards a more cooperative approach that might embody many of the characteristics of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Naturally, it would be too simplistic for the answer to be either one or the other; the probable solution is more likely to be a hybrid that embodies the strengths of both, not to mention the UN.
