Abstract: |
In this landmark book, Robert Cooper sets out this radical interpretation of the new world order that has emerged from the debris of communism. He defines all states as belonging to one of three types: lawless "pre-modern" states; "modern" states that are fiercely protective of their sovereignty; and "postmodern" states that operate on the basis of opennes, law and mutual security. The United States, pursue unilateralism and power politics. The key question confronting Europeans today is whetherit is acceptable to use the rougher methods of an earlier eraforce, pre-emptive attack, deception- to safeguard what they have achieved. The Breaking of Nations is an essential account of the times in which we live. |
