Part 2: Chances for peace?

Paul Rogers on the underlying trends at the core of insecurity and conflict in the decades to come, and how we can avoid their becoming the drivers of conflicts that may dwarf the problems of recent years including the 'war on terror'. Will the period 1945-2045 be the most significant in human history, and what can we do to save ourselves from our capacity for self-destruction?
