Global politics is in a transitional phase.
Recent developments on the global stage suggest that a New Geopolitics is struggling to be born, although it is not yet able to fully displace the Old Geopolitics.
The aftermath of the Arab Uprisings illustrates how the persistence of a world order based on state-centric structures of authority and legitimacy has certainly not disappeared. Unmet challenges of nuclear weaponry, climate change, and world poverty point to rigid political, economic, ideological, and biopolitical structures that are increasingly dysfunctional from the perspective of global human interests.
To respond to the world order challenges of the 21st century, A New Geopolitics argues that we need to radically rethink and take action to reconcile national interests with human interests, and prevent the drift towards ecological catastrophe, systemic shock by systemic shock.
As one of the world's foremost authorities on human rights and international relations, Richard Falk lays bare the status of Geopolitics today and offers a prophetic and powerful forecast of the changes we can expect around the world during the 21st century.
