The publication contains the proceedings of the 27th International Workshop on Global Security held in Berlin, Germany in June, 2010. Political leaders, including defense ministers, foreign ministers and heads of government, as well as senior UN, EU and NATO and other diplomats, military commanders, and academic experts from more than forty countries participated. Workshop themes. As demonstrated by Iceland's volcanic eruption—or recent tragic earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, nations face a growing range of economic and security concerns on a global scale. In many cases, risks are impossible to predict. No longer limited to purely military threats, today's dangers arise from such highly diverse sources as the international financial system—which plunged the world into recession; natural disasters; energy security; scarcity of water, minerals, and other resources; poverty; drug, weapons, and human trafficking; and—above all—the lack of hope for a better future for millions across the globe. Such a wide range of threats cannot be addressed effectively in national capitals alone, nor in the prominent international institutions, since decisions are often sidetracked by interest groups or simply by their extreme complexity, unexpected nature, or lack of resources.
