Focus: Conflict and Security
The arena of international relations has been undergoing changes in the past several years. On the one hand terrorism has become the most talked about subject while on the other, ethnicity and ethnic conflicts are becoming the focal points in international relations, where sovereignty of a nation is itself coming under threat particularly so in today's unipolar world.
