By the last decade of the twentieth century, the great questions of
modernity seemed to be answered. With the collapse of the Soviet
Union and global communism, the liberal democratic capitalist
project seemed to be the only one left standing, and in the 1990s
the "liberal ideal" spread worldwide. Today, of course, this
universalistic narrative rings hollow. The global distribution of
power has shifted and the preeminence of the West is receding as
new directions for world order emerge. China is rapidly ascending
as a peer competitor of the United States, bringing with it a
powerful new global narrative of grievance and revision. Political
Islam also burst onto the global scene as a multifaceted
transnational movement reshaping regional political order and
geopolitical alignments. With the rapid advance of climate change,
there have arisen new narratives of global endangerment and
dystopia. Far from converging, fragmentation and contestation
increasingly dominate debates over world order. In Debating Worlds,
Daniel Deudney, G. John Ikenberry, and Karoline Postel-Vinay have
gathered a group of eminent scholars in the field to analyze the
various ways in which the West's dominant narrative has waned and a
new plurality of narratives has emerged. Each of these narratives
combines stories of the past with understandings of the present and
attractive visions of the future. Collectively, the contributors
map out these narratives, focusing primarily on their key features,
origins, and implications for world order. The narratives prominent
on the world stage are a volatile mix of components, but they also
differ in scope—some are regional and civilizational without
global aspirations, while others cast themselves as globally
expansive and universally ambitious. Covering the most influential
narratives currently shaping world politics, Debating Worlds is an
essential volume for all scholars of international relations.
