Theories and histories about the structure of contemporary international security -- Levels : distinguishing the regional from the global -- Security complexes : a theory of regional security -- South Asia : inching towards internal and external transformation -- Northeast and Southeast Asian RSCs during the Cold War -- The 1990s and beyond : an emergent EastAsian complex -- The Middle East : a perennial conflict formation -- Sub-Saharan Africa : security dynamics in a setting of weak and failed states -- Conclusions -- North America : the sole superpower and its surroundings -- South America : an under-conflictual anomaly? -- EU-Europe : the European Union and its 'near abroad' -- The Balkans and Turkey -- The post-Soviet space : a regional security complex -- Conclusions : scenarios for the European supercomplex -- Regions and powers : summing up and looking ahead -- Reflections on conceptualising international security.

This 2003 book develops the idea that since decolonisation, regional patterns of security have become more prominent in international politics. The authors combine an operational theory of regional security with an empirical application across the whole of the international system. Individual chapters cover Africa, the Balkans, CIS Europe, East Asia, EU Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America, and South Asia. The main focus is on the post-Cold War period, but the history of each regional security complex is traced back to its beginnings. By relating the regional dynamics of security to current debates about the global power structure, the authors unfold a distinctive interpretation of post-Cold War international security, avoiding both the extreme oversimplifications of the unipolar view, and the extreme deterritorialisations of many globalist visions of a new world disorder. Their framework brings out the radical diversity of security dynamics in different parts of the world.
