This new book offers a coherent model of a unipolar world order.
Unipolarity is usually described either as a 'brief moment' or as
something historically insignificant. However, we have already seen
nearly twenty years of virtual unipolarity and this period has been
of great significance for world politics. Two issues have been
crucial since the end of the Cold War: How to theorize the
distinctiveness and exceptional character of a unipolar
international system? And what is it like to conduct state business
in a unipolar world? Until now, a comprehensive model for
unipolarity has been lacking. This volume provides a theoretical
framework for analysis of the current world order and identifies
the patterns of outcomes and systematic variations to be expected.
Terrorism and attempts by small states to achieve a nuclear
capability are not new phenomena or exclusive to the current world
order, but in the case of unipolarity these have become attached to
the fear of marginalization and the struggle against a powerful
centre without the possibility of allying with an alternative
superpower. Supplying a coherent theoretical model for unipolarity,
which can provide explanations of trends and patterns in the
turbulent post-Cold War era, this book will be of interest to
students of IR theory, international security and foreign policy.
