Power, Morality, and the (R)evolution of Strategic Integration (PDF)

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - International Politics - General and Theories, , language: English, abstract: The concept of pre-emptive strategic integration is altogether not only one of the most farsighted and multi-faceted instruments available in the fields of strategic peace-building and conflict prevention, but in the long run arguably the most crisis-proof and efficacious one as well. Specifically, a well-considered integrative approach to early conflict pre-emption will be shown to be infinitely more profitable and efficient than protracted conflict resolution processes due to the fact that it after all not only seeks to eliminate the underlying causes of potential security threats to the wider international community from the very beginning, but above all as it likewise more consistently attempts to identify and accommodate the correlative character and transnational implications of initially disjointed occurrences and events, be it in terms of intra-state warfare, religious terrorism, popular resistance and civilian disobedience, governmental instability and dictatorial oppression, genocide and human rights violations, economic dislocation and trade imbalances, humanitarian catastrophes, environmental disasters, or mass refugee and migration movements.
