Foreword

The year 1991 saw the definitive end of the cold war and of the bipolar era. Political energies previously held captive to the super-Power struggle were released; new States were born as people recovered their freedom; major steps forward helped to reduce the threat of nuclear war. A new spirit of hopefulness and a belief in the relevance of common action began to take shape. But it also emerged that the transition to a new pattern of international relations would be neither easy nor risk-free.
