Summary "Ramonet offers an analysis of the fundamental global issues of today, carefully dissecting the phenomenon of neoliberal globalization, and the recent U.S.-led wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo and elsewhere. Wars of the 21st Century argues that in these times of planetary social war, civil society must reclaim its place as the key protagonist on the international political stage."--BOOK JACKET
