Worlds in Collision: Terror and the Future of Global Order by Timothy Dunne

by Ken Booth

Bringing together an outstanding group of thinkers, Worlds in Collision is the essential book for understanding the debate about the future of global order in the wake of international terrorism and the war in Afghanistan. For years to come, if not decades, the 'war on terrorism' will be the defining paradigm in the struggle for global order. When the victim of such horrific terror attacks happens to be the world's only superpower, the agenda is set for the future global order. This book, offering a comprehensive and provocative collection of viewpoints from leading intellectuals from a number of countries, will help readers understand the ways in which our worlds collided on September 11, 2001. Not only does it comprehensively address the first phase of the war against international terrorism, the book also looks at the wider regional and global ramifications. Worlds in Collision is ultimately about more than the war on terrorism, it concerns itself with the possibilities for re-shaping global order on the basis of new kinds of politics.

Menarik tulisan Robert W. Cox di buku ini. Tulisannya yang tak saya duga akan keluar dari akademisi mapan di dunia HI. Tulisan yang cukup membongkar peristiwa 11 September. Ulasan empirisnya menjadikan saya harus lebih kritis terhadap peristiwa yang berpengaruh besar terhadap agenda politik keamanan sesudahnya

Lots of academics on 9-11. Fukuyama and Buzan included!

reader suitable for undergraduates. maybe not so timely in 2014 as in 2001, however. broad range of political positions, fukuyama through Chomsky.
