The author focuses his attention on the changes that have occurred since September 2001, the crisis in the US, the shift from military security to human security and the challenges of nuclear proliferation. He also examines the role of diplomacy, peace-keeping missions and the creation of an "international security regime" that combines pragmatism with the normative contributions of Kantian idealism.
There were further presentations of the new book in Bilbao, Córdoba and Barcelona.
