The transformation from traditional war between nation-states to conflict between nation-states and nonstate actors requires decision makers, policy analysts, military commanders, intelligence officials, and legislators to answer the question: is there a strategy for an unwinnable conflict? This book draws on the author's extensive experience in counterterrorism, negotiation, and the implementation of the Oslo Peace Process, with his more recent work in academia. The book uses an interdisciplinary case study model to illustrate valuable lessons learned and best practices in strategic analysis and decision making in geopolitics. It examines international relations, international law, and negotiation/intervention as they pertain to recent and historical examples of global crises and security.
"Beginning with a discussion of new developments affecting sovereignty, intervention, geopolitics, and security in the evolving global environment, the author … examines how states have attempted to address them in significant historical cases: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the intervention in Libya, non-intervention in Syria …the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, the Arab Spring. An innovative and important examination of the strategies required by states to defeat the threats presented by non-state actors, such as terrorist groups."
