Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschürfungen / Risse / Knicke; Farbtonänderung. This work encapsulates Henry Kissinger's insights on history, strategy, and statecraft, offering a broad perspective on the motivations of nations throughout time. It identifies four significant 'world orders': European, Islamic, Chinese, and American. Since the fall of Charlemagne's empire and particularly after the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, Europeans have sought balance in international relations, first within Europe and then globally. Islamic states, exemplified by contemporary Iran, have pursued expansion into regions inhabited by non-believers. For over two millennia, China has viewed itself as central, with all under Heaven being tributary to its Emperor. In contrast, America perceives itself as a 'city on a hill', promoting its values as universally valid. The text explores how these attitudes have evolved, influenced their respective histories, and interacted with one another. It examines the balance of legitimacy and power across different eras and assesses the current state of each world order and its impact on international relations. Drawing on his extensive historical knowledge and experience as a statesman, Kissinger provides a compelling narrative filled with insights on leadership, historical change, and the essence of state identity. This work is a profound analysis that only Kissinger could offer.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In World Order, Henry Kissinger - one of the leading practitioners of world diplomacy and author of On China - makes his monumental investigation into the 'tectonic plates' of global history and state relations. World Order is the summation of Henry Kissinger's thinking about history, strategy and statecraft. As if taking a perspective from far above the globe, it examines the great tectonic plates of history and the motivations of nations, explaining the attitudes that states and empires have taken to the rest of the world from the formation of Europe to our own times. Kissinger identifies four great 'world orders' in history - the European, Islamic, Chinese and American. Since the end of Charlemagne's empire, and especially since the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, Europeans have striven for balance in international affairs, first in their own continent and then globally. Islamic states have looked to their destined expansion over regions populated by unbelievers, a position exemplified today by Iran under the ayatollahs. For over 2000 years the Chinese have seen 'all under Heaven' as being tributary to the Chinese Emperor. America views itself as a 'city on a hill', a beacon to the world, whose values have universal validity. How have these attitudes evolved and how have they shaped the histories of their nations, regions, and the rest of the world? What has happened when they have come into contact with each other? How have they balanced legitimacy and power at different times? What is the condition of each in our contemporary world, and how are they shaping relations between states now? To answer these questions Henry Kissinger draws upon a lifetime's historical study and unmatched experience as a world statesman. His account is shot through with observations about how historical change takes place, how some leaders shape their times and others fail to do so, and how far states can stray from the ideas which define them. World Order is a masterpiece of narrative, analysis and portraits of great historical actors that only Henry Kissinger could have written. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
