'This is one of those rare books that have something really
important to say. Anatol Lieven is telling his fellow realists that
at this moment the world's great powers are far more threatened by
climate change than they are by each other' Ivan Krastev, author of
The Light That Failed In the past two centuries we have experienced
wave after wave of overwhelming change. Entire continents have been
resettled; there are billions more of us; the jobs done by
countless people would be unrecognizable to their predecessors;
scientific change has transformed us all in confusing, terrible and
miraculous ways. Anatol Lieven's major new book provides the frame
that has long been needed to understand how we should react to
climate change. This is a vast challenge, but we have often in the
past had to deal with such challenges: the industrial revolution,
major wars and mass migration have seen mobilizations of human
energy on the greatest scale. Just as previous generations had to
face the unwanted and unpalatable, so do we. In a series of
incisive, compelling interventions, Lieven shows how in this
emergency our crucial building block is the nation state. The
drastic action required both to change our habits and protect
ourselves can be carried out not through some vague globalism but
through maintaining social cohesion and through our current
governmental, fiscal and military structures. This is a book which
will provoke innumerable discussions.
