The Oxford Research Group has
released a new report...
This major new report is the result of an 18-month long research project examining the various threats to global security, and sustainable responses to those threats.
Current security policies assume international terrorism to be the greatest threat to global security, and attempt to maintain the status quo and control insecurity through the projection of military force. The authors argue that the failure of this approach has been clearly demonstrated during the last five years of the 'war on terror' and it is distracting governments from the real threats that humanity faces.
Unless urgent action is taken within the next five to ten years, it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to avoid a highly unstable global system by the middle years of the century.
This report outlines a more sustainable approach.See an article on TomPaine.com discussing the findings:
