In this book, Robert Cooper sets out his radical new interpretation of the new international order that has emerged from the debris of Communism's collapse. The United States, Cooper argues, has yet to decide whether to embrace the 'postmodern' world of interdependence, or pursue unilateralism and power politics.Cooper shows that the greatest question facing postmodern states is how they should deal with a world in which missiles and terrorists ignore borders and where Cold War alliances no longer guarantee security. He argues that when dealing with a hostile outside enemy, civilized countries need to revert to tougher methods from an earlier era force, preemptive attack, deception if we are to safeguard peaceful coexistence throughout the civilized world. He also advocates a doctrine of liberal imperialism that advocates that postmodern states have a right to intervene in the affairs of modern and premodern states if they pose a significant enough threat.The Breaking of Nations is essential reading for a dangerous age, a cautionary tale for superpowers, and a prescient examination of international relations in the twentyfirst century.
