{"product_id":"the-world-in-conflict-isbn-9781610396172","title":"The World in Conflict","description":"In the last decade, the USA and its allies have invaded Afghanistan; Russia has sent troops into Ukraine; Britain and France helped topple a regime in Libya; the militant group ISIS has emerged in the Middle East; and across West Africa, the quest for precious minerals has both financed and caused conflicts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Other conflicts are less bloody, but still dangerous -- the nervous stand-off between India and Pakistan in Kashmir, for instance, or the continuing stalemate between nuclear-armed, totalitarian North Korea and capitalist, democratic South Korea. Can we be truly confident that these arguments will not lead to armed conflict -- whether by design or by human error?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe World in Conflict\u003c\/i\u003e, John Andrews tackles head-on the reasons why global conflict is an ever-present in our lives. He analyses today's conflicts continent by continent, considering the causes, participants, impact and likely outcomes. He looks at recently-ended wars that remain prone to intermittent fighting. And, crucially, he considers where, why and how new conflicts might erupt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a book for our times, an essential guide for anyone and everyone who wants to know more about the world's main danger spots and how and why war and terrorism persist -- in short, how we might better understand our world in conflict.","brand":"PublicAffairs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44896022823141,"sku":"NP9781610396172","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_7adfe022-1256-42a5-b362-9bdc7997de31.jpg?v=1773107048","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-world-in-conflict-isbn-9781610396172","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
