Description
Appearing for the first time in English translation, this highly acclaimed French study seeks to ascertain the direction of the new world order in the aftermath of the Cold War. The authors present a European view on post-Cold War politics - a subject traditionally dominated by American scholars. Their conceptual approach will provide a useful and lasting framework for the study of international relations at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
