World Orders, Old and New (Paperback, 2nd edition)

A widely acclaimed study of global politics which claims that the 'new world order', proclaimed after the fall of communism in 1989-90, was nothing more than an ingenious piece of 'historical engineering' in which Western capitalism has been able to restructure and entrench itself more powerfully than ever before. First published in 1994. (Kirkus UK)

In this widely acclaimed study of global politics, Chomsky offers a devastating critique of conventional definitions of the anew world orderA. It is, he argues, nothing more than an ingenious piece of ahistorical engineeringA, whereby the pretexts for the Cold War - nuclear threat, Eastern Bloc menace - have been deftly replaced by a new set of convenient justifications for a Western agenda that remains largely unchanged. Now with a new and extensive epilogue on the Middle East, World Orders Old And New is as relevant now as when it was first published.
