INTRODUCTION
by Mary Kaldor, Helmut Anheier and Marlies Glasius
Mary Kaldor argues that the Green and Red Zones of divided Iraq are metaphors for the gulf that exists on a global scale between the global ‘green zones’, populated by political elites, and the global ‘red zone’, a heterogeneous, complex world full of energy, activity, ideas and debate but also violence, frustration and extremism.
