Publisher's Synopsis
"Order and Disorder After the Cold War" brings together 24 articles from "The Washington Quarterly". It probes beyond the headlines and the rhetoric to weigh the sources of order and disorder in the post-Cold War era. It first evaluates the changing roles of the major powers, then turns to new political and military challenges to international order, and finally addresses the emerging debate between geopolitics and geoeconomics. A speculative assessment of the emerging world order concludes this collection.
