This uniquely interdisciplinary volume analyzes the challenges
posed by the heterogeneity of the world where radically different
players are crammed into increasingly limited political,
commercial, social, and ecological space. The rapid rise of
Communist Party-ruled China is posing serious challenges to the
postwar politico-economic architecture dominated by the United
States. Russia, once expected to become a partner of the liberal
Western international order, has started behaving in an
increasingly unilateral fashion. The developing world is more
characterized by failed governance rather than convergence to
liberal democracies as was hoped by many Western authors. Given
links provided by low-cost carriers, the Internet, and trade and
investment, we simply cannot shield ourselves from influences,
whether benign or malign, from neighbors on this planet.The
authors, including political scientists, economists, social
physicists, and experts on complexity theory and informatics,
examine how interactions among actors with different properties can
cause problems, and they analyze risks resulting from the
interactions. While employing a variety of approaches to address
topics such as economic interdependence among democracies and
authoritarian states, the development assistance regimes, internal
conflicts in developing countries, and cyber security, the whole
volume presents a clear overview of challenges and risks the world
is facing. This work makes a valuable contribution to students of
social sciences as well as to practitioners interested in the
emerging global order.
