Description
Book SynopsisIt is normally assumed that international security regimes such as the United Nations can reduce the risk of war by increasing transparency among adversarial nations. But how is transparency provided, how does it actually work, and how effective is it in preserving or restoring peace? This work provides answer to these important questions.
Trade Review"The book is especially impressive in the execution of the research... There is something for many (not quite everyone), and readers will profit by learning about topics that they thought they already knew, as well as other topics that they could stand to learn more about"----Paul F. Diehl, Perspectives on Politics
