In Peace, Power, and the United Nations: A Security System for the Twenty-first Century, a long-time practitioner in the field of international security presents a groundbreaking study of the applicability of the UN security system to contemporary power arrangements. Joseph Lorenz argues that today’s major threats to peace and stability -- the regional expansionism of middle-power dictatorships and the steady run of ethnic and factional wars within states -- require a modified collective-security structure based on the capacity of concerned states to take prompt preventive action. To this end the author proposes a highly mobile international deterrent force that could be tailored to regional challenges as they develop.
