This brand-new trade paperback, published by Scribe Publications, published in 2024, delves into the pressing challenges facing the West today. With Russia's aggressive actions in Ukraine and the realities of a resurgent China, Neumann highlights the urgent need for the West to reinvent itself in the face of escalating global tensions. The book provides a thought-provoking critique of how the aftermath of the Cold War and the American War on Terror have led to a precarious world order, now defined by disorder rather than stability.

It is a compelling call to action that addresses the overestimation of Western strengths in a rapidly changing geopolitical climate. Whether you are a student of international relations, a policy maker, or simply a concerned citizen, 'The New World Disorder' engages with critical issues such as superpower rivalry, systemic challenges, and the future of democracy. Join the conversation on how the West can avert future crises and foster a more stable international environment. With its insightful perspectives and urgent calls for reform, Neumann's work is essential for understanding our current moment.

Description:
A coruscating analysis of current international relations, setting out the dangers the world will face if the West does not succeed in reinventing itself.
The West is facing an unprecedented crisis. Russia has launched a war of aggression against Ukraine - just months after the USA suffered a foreign policy debacle in Afghanistan. And China, the West's rival in the battle for system superiority, has long since become a decisive superpower.
Yet the triumph of the West had seemed unstoppable not that long ago. After the end of the Cold War, the democratic market economy took hold in the former Eastern Bloc, Russia went from being an enemy to a partner, and even China turned to capitalism. Then came the major turning point- the terrorist attacks of 9/11 that shook the West. The American War on Terror destabilised an entire region of the world; the Arab Spring only brought forth new autocracies; and, following the annexation of Crimea, the confrontation with Russia intensified. Instead of a liberal world order, a new world disorder has emerged.
Peter R. Neumann, an internationally acclaimed expert on terrorism and geopolitics, shows how this transpired and what must happen now. He offers an unsparing critique of the current situation of the West, which has fatally overestimated itself.
'A far-sighted analysis of the world order, and an urgent warning of what the future may hold in store.'
