American Academy Studies in Global Security Series

Profound political, economic, environmental, and technological changes now underway are shaping the prospects for peace and human well-being in the coming decades. Accommodating these changes will be the primary challenge of states, nongovernmental organizations, corporations, and multilateral institutions. Motivated by a concern for this process of transformation and international accommodation, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences launched this book series in 2003.

Published by The MIT Press, titles in this series include:

• Thinking Strategically: The Major Powers, Kazakhstan, and the Central Asian Nexus (2003)
• Swords and Sustenance: The Economics of Security in Belarus and Ukraine (2004)
• The Russian Military: Power and Policy (2004)
• Statehood and Security: Georgia after the Rose Revolution (2005)
• The Minimum Means of Reprisal: China's Search for Security in the Nuclear Age (2007)

The American Academy Studies in Global Security Series is edited by Carl Kaysen, MIT, John Steinbruner, University of Maryland; and Martin B. Malin, American Academy of Arts & Sciences and is a project of the Committee on International Security Studies.
