Description
Book SynopsisThis book describes and analyzes the source and nature of the phenomena that characterize new world disorder. These include domestic political crises with international consequences, disruptive regions, terrorism, climate change, deglobalization, and exponentially growing refugee movements.
Trade ReviewThe sheer breadth of topics covered in The New World Disorder: Challenges and Threats in an Uncertain World is incredibly impressive. Hitting on pressing global security challenges such as terrorism, the conflict in Ukraine, and the United Kingdom's nuclear deterrent and Brexit, this tome addresses many issues of relevance to both scholars and policymakers. Taken together, the authors make a compelling case for the beginning of a new period of disorder and international transition. -- Brian Mazanec, Missouri State University
This book deserves a wide readership for the light that it throws on many of the problems that our troubled world faces today. Each of the contributors helps to dispel misunderstandings and distortions. -- Paul Dukes, Emeritus Professor of History, University of Aberdeen
Larry Black and his team of excellent scholars provide us with a high-level analysis of defining cases and issues in the growing world disorder. As usual Larry Black takes us out the conventional wisdom. Leaving aside recipes for a new order the essays of this book offer stimulating ideas and perspectives to circumvent the very possible worse case scenarios. -- Jacques Lévesque, University of Quebec, Montreal
