"This book sets out a new and innovative security principle that is highly pertinent to our times: The Multi-Sum Security Principle. This principle aims not only to promote cooperative interaction between states, but also peaceful coexistence between cultural groups and civilizations. It combines a proposed new classification of global security that comprises five dimensions of security - human, environmental, national, transnational, and transcultural security - and the idea that justice is a prerequisite for security."--Jacket.
