Harvey, Robert: Global Disorder: America and the Threat of World Conflict, New York: Carroll & Graf Perseus Publishing 2003
0-7867-1132-9 AS NEW CONDITION

<B> In 1990, when the Berlin Wall fell and the Cold War ended, economic and political analysts declared the world a safer place. But not political journalist Robert Harvey. The roar of international optimism only intensified the pangs of his geopolitical anxiety. <P><B> In 1995, in The Return of the Strong, he warned Western democracies that the tides of economic globalization were sweeping the world toward a new crisis." Unfortunately, the attack on the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001, justified Harvey's alarm. It also prompted him to revise and update his analysis of the dangers facing the free world. Global Disorder not only examines the precarious state of world affairs in the aftermath of 9/11 but also offers far-reaching proposals for the reform of global security. <P><B> In light of the emergence of the United States as the world's first megapower, Harvey explores the sources of international tension that have increasingly commanded the attention of the West and lays out the perils inherent in the globalization of capitalism without political or economic control. He presents constructive measures that he believes the West-especially the United States-must undertake to restore stability around the world and truly ensure international security. <P><B> The Washington Post: " Global Disorder offers some good insights into and analysis of the growing political and economic threats that are part of a new international landscape, one that seems to depend increasingly on America's expanding -- but controversial and still evolving -- role as a new kind of world super-power." <P><B> Harvey, formerly a member of Parliament and a columnist for the Daily Telegraph, updates his comprehensive survey of established and emerging threats to world security. Harvey's synthesis covers the entire globe, featuring compressed set pieces on such diverse locales as Saudi Arabia and Colombia, Japan and South Africa, with politics and economics his principal subjects. Harvey sees the world as "a much more dangerous place than it has been for nearly half a century," the sources of instability today ranging from terrorism and nuclear proliferation to the irrationality of disintegrated and even "psychopath" states. <P><B> The world economy has been shaken by currency manipulations, by a vast Third World debt crisis (covered here in detail) and by the depredations of multinational corporations. The author presents himself as a sympathetic observer of the role played by the United States in world affairs. <P><B> Calling for greater American engagement in the world, the author envisions a four-part foundation for international security in which the U.S. must take the lead, becoming the "benevolent head of the family of nations" in association with a strengthened Japan and European Union. <blockqMany suggestions appear throughout the book for creating what the author calls a New Security Architecture for the world. Harvey is obviously a knowledgeable observer of the global scene, and sets out his views with clarity and passion. However, his portrayal of political and economic trends focuses mostly on the 1980s and early 1990s, and analysis of more recent developments would have been welcome. Still, this volume will hold the interest of devotees of contemporary history and those concerned with international affairs. <P><B> It's a dangerous world out there, getting uglier every day--thanks in large part to the US, which appears to be clueless in foreign policy. So runs one of several provocative arguments in this timely study. Updating his 1994 The Return of the Strong in light of 9/11 and other world events, British journalist and politician Harvey ("A Few Bloody Noses," 2002, etc.) accepts as fact that the US is the world's sole superpower, though he isn't necessarily happy about it. Part of being the biggest bully on the block, of course, is the attendant loathing and envy of the less powerful, which has intensified in places like Afghanistan; ....</B><P> Hardcover 6- 1/2 x 9-1/2"
