This web resource was created
to introduce the interested reader to the background of and the basic data
about various ethnic, religious, ideological and territorial conflicts as
well as other security challenges that may lead to the development of political
instability and global insecurity.
The complexities of
international policy since the end of the Cold War, multiple armed
conflicts accompanied by ethnic cleansing and atrocities, aggravation of
nationalism and intolerance are only some of the reasons that demonstrate
how important it is to understand the nature of these conflicts.
This site contains articles
and brochures on the most troubled areas of the world marked by ethnic and
religious conflicts, disputed borders and conflicting historical myths,
graphic charts explaining political systems of various countries and
articles covering the most dramatic modern conflicts.
Some of the texts, charts and
maps posted on the sites of this resource are quite unique and cannot be
found anywhere else on the net. They were created as a result of a
laborious research using and combining the variety of books and other
sources some of which are out of print. All articles,
maps and charts are copyright protected and may not be duplicated without
permission of their authors.
