The United States has Fukuyama, Huntington, and Kagan as its prophets of the coming world order. Who does Europe have? The answer is Robert Cooper. "Two revolutionary forces are transforming international relations: the breakdown of state control over violence, and the rise of a stable, peaceful order in Europe. The system of nation-states and power politics is being undermined by a postmodern Europe and a premodern world of failed states and post-imperial chaos. The growing threat of terrorism necessitates new forms of cooperation and a reconstructed international order that goes beyond the balance of power or hegemony. Stable order in the new age must be built on legitimate authority and more inclusive political identities." This book is on sale through Amazon.co.uk. The New Republic calls it "an original and controversial analysis of power and violence by the foremost commentator on the strategic issues of our age." The Breaking of Nations |
