State of the World 2005 takes a new and deeper look at the theme that has dominated international politics since 9/11: security. Not just the armed conflicts that occur when it breaks down, but also the underlying social, economic and environmental pressures that determine how threatened and vulnerable people feel. These include food security, access to water and other natural resources such as oil, environmental change and health threats, such as infectious disease, as well as the challenges of post-conflict disarmament and stopping nuclear proliferation. The result is nothing less than a comprehensive examination of what needs to be done to build real, lasting peace and security for all people.

Published annually in 28 languages, each edition draws on the breadth of expertise of WorldWatch's award-winning team of writers and researchers. State of the World is relied upon by national governments, UN agencies, development workers and law-makers for its authoritative and up-to-the-minute analysis and information. It is essential for anyone concerned with building a positive, global future.

This year's edition covers:

security redefined
examining the connections between population and security
containing infectious disease
cultivating food security
managing water conflict and cooperation
changing the oil economy
disarming postwar societies
building peace through environmental cooperation
laying the foundations for peace
