As Henry Kissinger observes in this magisterial book, there has never been a
true world order. For most of history, civilizations have defined their own
concepts of order, each one envisioning its distinct principles as universally
relevant. Now, as international affairs take place on a global basis, these
historic concepts of world order are meeting. Every region participates in
questions of high policy in every other, often instantaneously - yet there is no
consensus among the major actors about the rules and limits guiding this
process, or its ultimate destination. The result is mounting tension.
Blending historical insight with prognostication, World Order is a meditation
from one of our era's most prominent diplomats on the 21st century's ultimate
challenge: how to build a shared international order in a world of divergent
historic perspectives, violent conflict, proliferating technology and
ideological extremism.
