The Empire of Disorder by Alain Joxe
In The Empire of Disorder, Alain Joxe offers the first truly comprehensive analysis of the new world disorder of the twenty-first century. The contemporary world, claims Joxe, is dominated by the American empire but not ordered by it. This "leadership through chaos," based on maintaining a "creeping peace," is at the root of the present organization of violence and barbary on a global scale. At the same time, national governments--including that of the United States--are declining in influence as the imperial system fosters transnational mafias, corporations, and markets.Professor at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes in Sciences Sociales in Paris, Alain Joxe is the Director of the Center for the Sociology of Defense.
