| Summary, etc | The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, when the world was just a button-push away from a nuclear holocaust, established crises and crises management as an independent field of study. The United States and the Soviet Union learnt the perils of direct confrontation and became more willing to co-operate in 'managing' regional crises.The situation has not changed much. Although the world may have moved from the danger of a superpower conflict, unipolarity may not be an enduring feature of the international system. The need for managing crises is likely to be more, not less, in an international system where the break up of the old superpower compitition and restraints has changed the rules of the game that nations play, to the apparent advantage of the stronger regional powers.In this objective study Imtiaz Bokhari studies three major regional crises - the Iran-Iraq war, the 1971 Indo-Pakistan crisis, and the 1973 Arab-Israel war - each of which continues to carry within it the danger of turning into a major international conflagration, and looks at the ways in which the powers-that-be have managed to contain the crises.ned a political system. |
