The cold war is over; but international violence, and preparations for it, are not. Despite major changes in global politics brought on by Soviet-American detente and the revitalization of the United Nations as a peacekeeper, the militarization of world politics continues. The Persian Gulf War, ethnic conflict in Yugoslavia, and fighting in Northern Ireland and Georgia attest to the importance of warfare in the post-cold war era. Global military spending has somewhat diminished; but at somewhere between $ 900 million and $1 trillion, it still is a major factor in the budgets and ambitions of most countries, large and small. As hopeful as the end of the cold war is, the best we can claim is that we are in an era of relative peace.
