| book description |

This book provides a broad overview of Professor Raimo Väyrynen’s academic work, his role in international research organizations, and his contributions to policy debates. It offers an interesting review of important political issues during the time span of half a century, from disarmament in Europe to the changing relationship between state sovereignty and transnational forces. Väyrynen has dealt with the changing agenda of peace and international relations, security and the arms race, and the world economy. This book provides comprehensive analyses of the regional and systemic structure of international relations, with the emphasis on conflicts and warfare between nations. It argues that while states, even smaller ones, still matter, transnational issues are increasingly important. Taking a historical perspective, the articles suggest that large-scale violence and arms races have been recurrent and cyclical phenomena in international relations. These events reflect the deep-seated inequalities in the political and economic systems which, moreover, vary considerably between regions.  The publication is important reading for any researcher as well as students, policy-makers and the science-oriented public at large. •             Traces the changing agenda of international relations from disarmament and the world economy to the changing relationship between state sovereignty and transnational forces. •             Provides analyses of the regional and systemic structure in international relations, with the emphasis on conflicts and warfare. •             Argues that large-scale violence and the arms race have been recurrent and cyclical phenomena in international relations. •             Reviews important political issues from peace and conflict in Europe to the changing power relationship in the world.
