The new world order as it stood after the apparent end of the Cold
War and the collapse of the USSR was greeted with enthusiasm and
optimism almost everywhere, but especially in the West. Less than a
quarter century later that optimism has faded dramatically, with
the rise of populism, nationalism, religious extremism and civil
discord disrupting political and social norms around the world.
This book reveals the extent to which events that began as internal
political crises in Europe, the Middle East and the USA have sent
ripple effects reaching into all points of the globe. The
projection of liberal democratic predominance in the 1990s, has
faded as illiberal governance gains support worldwide.
Long-standing international trade patterns are disrupted, perhaps
permanently, by the weaponization of economic sanctions, real and
perceived threats of terrorism raise levels of anxiety everywhere,
and severe new weather patterns inflict floods, fires, drought and
hurricanes on populations unused to such extremes. This book
describes and analyses many of these phenomena in the hope that
better understanding of them may help ameliorate their
consequences.
