by RobertCooper (Author)
In this book, Robert Cooper sets out his radical interpretation of the new world order that has emerged from the debris of communism. He defines all states as belonging to one of three types: lawless pre-modern states; modern states; and postmodern states that operate on the basis of openness, law and mutal security. The United States, Cooper shows, has yet to decide whether to embrace the postmodern world or pursue unilateralism and power politics.
