Paul Rogers is a leading figure in Peace and Strategic studies. Losing Control is written in a accessible and lively style identifying the major threats to security in the 21st Century.
Paul Rogers argues that there are two fundamental issues that will determine the evolution of conflict in the 21st Century: the widening gap between rich and poor, and the environment. He calls for a radical re-thinking of western perceptions of security that embraces a willingness to address core issues of global insecurity. Drawing on examples from around the world, Rogers analyses the legacy of the Cold War's proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; the impact of human activity of the fragile ecosystem; the growth of hypercapitalism and resulting poverty and insecurity; the competition for energy resources and strategic minerals; biological warfare programmes; and paramilitary actions against centres of power.
Paul Rogers is Professor of Peace Studies at Bradford University where he teaches courses on international security, arms control and political violence. He lectures at universities and defence colleges in several countries and his publications include 15 books and over 100 papers. He is a frequent broadcaster on international security issues on international and national networks.
