Inhaltsangabe:

The authors argue that, if the Cold War is indeed at an end, there presumably exists an opportunity for the United States to invest in the neglected areas of society, and furthermore that there is a way of navigating the hazardous shoals of this transition to the "other side" of disarmament. Achieving a healthy peace economy is a highly complex process requiring profound changes, but the book contends that the undesirable effects of many of these changes can be ameliorated by competent planning, preparation and training, and that meeting the challenges of this "new world" is essential if we are to establish a new social order less conducive to the violent resolution to international conflict.
