In the fall of 1989 the world watched as the Berlin Wall came down.
More than a dramatic symbol of the collapse of the Soviet bloc, the
event marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War and the
arrival of a whole new era in world politics. How the world powers,
built upon foundations that were suddenly shifting, adapted to this
new reality is the subject of After the Cold War.
Bringing together the work of seasoned experts and younger
scholars, this volume offers a wide-ranging analysis of the effects
of historical patterns--whether interrupted or intact--on post-Cold
War politics. The contributors show how state strategies among the
major western powers were guided by existing international rules
and expectations as these were institutionalized in organizations
such as NATO, the European Community, and the International
Monetary Fund. In the east, by contrast, those international
institutions that had existed within the Soviet bloc were soon
dissolved, so the business of determining state strategies and
policies presented a new set of problems and took a very different
tack. After the Cold War explores these continuities and
discontinuities in five areas: trade, international public finance,
foreign direct investment, environmental protection, and military
security.
Equally grounded in theory and extensive empirical research,
this timely volume offers a remarkably lucid description and
interpretation of our changing world order. In both its approach
and its conclusions, it will serve as a model for the study and
conduct of international relations in a new era.
