This volume explores key states and their changing conceptions of
the international order in the post-Cold War era. Taken
collectively, the contributors' analyses of the United States, the
Soviet Union and its successor states, Japan, the People's Republic
of China, the East Asian Little Dragons and Germany and the
European Community paint a detailed portrait of the emerging world
order. This multidisciplinary group of contributors utilizes a
diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches to confront
common themes and questions: How do states reorganize the world by
creating idioms and conceptions of international order? What is the
state's definition of its own role and the role of others? How has
the state's idiom and conception of the international order shifted
from the recent past? What role does the past play in approaches to
the world order-in terms of historical traditions, fears, and
memories? These questions are illuminated by considering such
crucial issues as the state's approach to international or
supranational institutions and legal codes, particularly in the
area of economy and international human rights, and the role of the
state vis-A -vis other states: Does the state have hegemonic
tendencies and an active role in maintaining international
stability? Does it stress independence or interdependence?
Isolationism or internationalism? These original essays suggest the
nascent form the international order is taking in an otherwise
turbulent world. Understanding how states view the post-Cold War
arena is of paramount importance for comprehending the development
of the new world order. In addressing these issues, this volume not
only provides concrete, timely answers but offers a variety of
theoretical and methodological tools for scholars, policymakers,
and the informed public.
