The Cold War and After: Prospects for Peace

| March 1991

Abstract

This timely collection of articles from the journal International Security focuses on the future of Europe; however, the analysis can be applied to any continent. The first four essays look at the sources of the post-1945 peace and consider whether the threat of nuclear weapons or other factors have acted as a deterrent to war. The next three essays debate whether the new Europe will see war or peace and offer different prescriptions for preventing a return to chaos.

Sean M. Lynn-Jones is Managing Editor of International Security.

Contributors: John Lewis Gaddis. John Mueller. Robert Jervis. Carl Kaysen. Jack Snyder. John J. Mearsheimer. Stephen Van Evera.
