We no longer inhabit a world governed by international
coordination, a unified NATO bloc, or an American hegemon.
Traditionally, the decline of one empire leads to a restoration in
the balance of power, via a struggle among rival systems of order.
Yet this dynamic is surprisingly absent today; instead, the
superpowers have all, at times, sought to promote what Jason Pack
terms the 'Enduring Disorder'. He contends that Libya's ongoing
conflict--more so than the civil wars in Yemen, Syria, Venezuela or
Ukraine--constitutes the ideal microcosm in which to identify the
salient features of this new era of geopolitics. The country's
post-Qadhafi trajectory has been moulded by the stark absence of
coherent international diplomacy; while Libya's incremental
implosion has precipitated cross-border contagion, further
corroding global institutions and international partnership. Pack
draws on over two decades of research in and on Libya and Syria to
highlight the Kafkaesque aspects of today's global affairs. He
shows how even the threats posed by the Arab Spring, and the
Benghazi assassination of US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens,
couldn't occasion a unified Western response. Rather, they have
further undercut global collaboration, demonstrating the
self-reinforcing nature of the progressively collapsing world
order.
