Reviews for Globalization and Fragmentation: International Relations in the Twentieth Century
Tension between integrative and disintegrative forces has already produced the post-cold war world's most significant fault-line. Ian Clark has written the best guide I've seen to these global tectonics and the upheavals we can expect from them. Required reading for anyone concerned with how the past is likely to shape the future.
