Henry Kissinger's 2014 book World Order: Reflections on the
Character of Nations and the Course of History not only offers a
summary of thinking developed throughout a long and highly
influential career-it is also an intervention in international
relations theory by one of the most famous statesmen of the
twentieth century. Kissinger initially trained as a university
professor before becoming Secretary of State to President Richard
Nixon in 1973 - a position in which he both won the Nobel Peace
Prize and was accused of war crimes by protesters against American
military actions in Vietnam. While a controversial figure,
Kissinger is widely agreed to have a unique level of practical and
theoretical expertise in politics and international relations - and
World Order is the culmination of a lifetime's experience of work
in those fields. The product of a master of the critical thinking
skill of interpretation, World Order takes on the challenge of
defining the worldviews at play in global politics today.
Clarifying precisely what is meant by the different notions of
'order' imagined by nations across the world, as Kissinger does,
highlights the challenges of world politics, and sharpens the focus
on efforts to make surmounting these divisions possible. While
Kissinger's own reputation will likely remain equivocal, there is
no doubting the interpretative skills he displays in this engaging
and illuminating text.
