J. Orstrom Moller, one of our most creative international thinkers, argues that the real threat to world order comes neither from military threats from new great powers menaces nor from rapid economic globalization. It stems from the fact that globalization is far less deeply embedded in modern societies and polities than we think. Can internationalism withstand prolonged economic dislocation of the weak? Ideological reaction in traditionally isolated cultures? Disorder arising from an increasingly interdependent global society? Only a new form of a world governance, Moller argues in this provocative analysis, can successfully address these challenges. -Andrew Moravcsik Associate Professor of Government Harvard University

In his short and sharp way, Moller forces us to confront all these pertinent issues...though one may not agree entirely with the prognosis and the answers or solutions he provides, he raises enough fundamental questions for anyone with any interest in the future, and for those who look beyond their immediate existence to try to make sense of what is happening around them. -International Herald Tribune This scholarly, comprehensive, and fair book addresses a critically important topic that, sadly, few people have the patience to understand. -The Futurist These remarkably candid views should become the basis of discussion and debate reminiscent of past musings by integrationists. Recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above. -Choice ?

It is essential reading for global managers who need to understand the broader context and effects of their strategies. -George S.
