{"product_id":"9781783718467","title":"Losing Control: Global Security in the Twenty-first Century","description":"When Losing Control was first published a decade ago it was years ahead of its time. Its argument was simple - the real causes of global insecurity were the widening socio-economic divide, global marginalisation and environmental limitations, especially climate change and conflict over energy resources. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Rogers, one of the most original thinkers on international security, pointed to a world in which irregular warfare from the margins would prevent powerful states from maintaining their position. He even predicted accurately how the United States would respond to a catastrophic attack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new edition brings the whole analysis right up to date, arguing persuasively that the world's elite cannot maintain control and that a far more emancipatory and sustainable approach to global security has to be developed.","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152543039728,"sku":"9781783718467","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783718467_p0.jpg?v=1763726486","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783718467","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
