Toward the post-transition world: new strategies for a new century

Article Abstract:

The existing world situation, following the end of the Cold War, offers the US a valuable opportunity to design a strategic national security policy aimed at promoting economic equality, international peace, democracy and respect for human rights. The US must discard its old security paradigms to fashion a national security policy that focuses on normative, humanitarian values rather than on its perceived enemies. Such a security policy can be implemented through diplomacy, cooperative agreements to achieve common goals, economic aid and by showing commitment to world peace and justice through personal example.

Hidden faces in the forest: a twenty-first century challenge for tropical Asia

Article Abstract:

The challenges of tropical forest management in the Asian region can be tackled successfully with greater participation by rural populations. Developing countries face the threat of deforestation more because 70 percent of the people are rural dwellers. UN Agenda 21 implementation committees and national agriculture and forest departments must act together with rural populations, because deforestation affects the lives of forest dwellers and rural populations more directly than their urban counterparts.

Africa: Toward a rapid-reaction force

Article Abstract:

The proposed African Crisis Response Force (ACRF) would mainly help civilians trapped in local conflicts, and it could do much to alleviate humanitarian suffering. However there is resistance from France and South Africa, as well as members of the US Congress, for such a force, with France believing that the US is taking on too large a role in the continent. The Clinton proposal however, concentrates on a relatively small number of troops.
