Description
Dazzling and instructive, Henry Kissinger's new book offers a magisterial analysis of the ultimate challenge for the twenty-first century: building a shared international order in a world of divergent historical perspectives, violent conflict, proliferating technology, and ideological extremism.
Drawing on his experience as one of the foremost statesmen of the modern era, Kissinger examines how civilizations have defined their own concepts of order throughout history. From ancient China's global cultural hierarchy to Europe's concept of an equilibrium of sovereign states, each civilization has envisioned its principles as universally relevant.
Now, international affairs take place on a global basis, and these historical concepts of world order are meeting in unexpected ways. Kissinger's analysis illuminates many of today's critical international issues, making this book a valuable insight into the complexities of our rapidly changing world.
