| Summary/Abstract |
The historical period to come will be marked by conflicts and, most
likely, hostilities that are an inevitable part of the emergence of a new
international order. A fuse system that could at least mitigate the
emerging threats is vital to global security. But it is unlikely to ever be
developed without providing an answer to the question of how to ensure
the balanced functioning of the international system in the absence of
a hegemon and a clear-cut hierarchy.
