The English translation of a French study, this text seeks to ascertain the direction of the new world order in the aftermath of the Cold War. The euphoria surrounding the fall of the Berlin wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union brought with it the hope that the international system was ripe for a complete reshaping of both its principles and its operation. However, the worldwide upheavals and dislocations following recent world events indicate that the emergence of a new international order will be far more complex and protracted than anticipated.
Written by leading experts in the field, this volume identifies European collective preferences and analyzes to what extent these preferences inform and shape EU foreign policy and are shared by other actors in the international system. While studies of the EU's foreign policy are not new, this book takes a very different tack from previous research. Specifically it leaves aside the institutional and bureaucratic dimensions of the European Union's behaviour as an international actor in order to concentrate on the meanings and outcomes of its foreign policy taken in the broadest sense. Two outcomes are possible: Either Europe succeeds in imposing a norms-based international system and thus, in this case, its soft power capacity will not only have been demonstrated but will be enhanced Or, on the contrary, it does not succeed and the global system will become one where realpolitik reigns; especially once China, India and Russia attain a preponderant influence on the international scene. EU Foreign Policy in a Globalized World will be of interest to students and scholars of European Union politics, foreign policy and politics and international relations in general.

In this provocative and incisive book, Zaki Laidi argues that as our world becomes ever larger, our ability to find meaning in it diminishes. With the end of communism came the end of the intimate alliance between power and ideology. No power in our globalised world can any longer claim to provide meaning. In despair we look back to old models (religious traditions, nationalism, ethnicity) to give us a sense of identity. But in a globalised world in a permanent state of flux, just how effective are these old certainties?
That Africa--one of the superpowers' crucial diplomatic and
economic battlegrounds--now verges on political developments as
dramatic as those of eastern Europe compels us to consider the
tremendous influence that East and West have wielded in recent
African political development. Drawing from American diplomatic
archives, firsthand interviews, and the African and international
press, Zaki Laidi presents a historical analysis of how the
dialectical relationships of the United States, Soviet Union, and
African actors evolved to their present state.
