Description
This is an analysis of the new multipolar world order that is emerging following the collapse of communism, the end of the Cold War and the erosion of American economic hegemony. Drawing on the lessons of previous "multipolar" periods in international history and of the Cold War period, the central focus of the book is on the conditions under which peace can prevail in a new age of multipolarity.
