Synopsis

This work delineates the impact of terrorism--and the American response--on the basic structure of international relations, the dimming prospects for global reform and the tendency to override the role of sovereign territorial states. Falk examines the changing role of the state, the relevance of institutions, the role of individuals and the importance of the worldwide religious resurgence, with its positive and negative implications. He also considers the post-modern geopolitics of the Bush presidency, with its emphasis on the militarization of space, the control of oil in the Middle East, and its reliance on military capabilities so superior to that of other states as to make any challenge impractical.

Media Reviews
With superb insight, originality and verve, Richard Falk provokes us to think about a new regionalism shaped by an emerging global civil society and existing international institutions, and invigorated by human rights principles and religious tolerance. His shrewd observations on the Westphalian order and beyond greatly inform the human rights debate, as the world slips toward a geopolitical morass.
