Alain
Joxe
Empire of Disorder
| Globalization
is quickly turning the world into a chaos, leading
to an increasing disparity between rich and poor,
the rise of an international, rootless 'noble class,'
and an escalating number of endless cruel little
wars. Yet the United States refuses to conquer the
world and assume the protective imperial role for
the societies it subjugates. Instead, it operates
on a case-by-case basis, regulating disorder, repressing
the symptoms of despair instead of attacking its
cause. For the first time perhaps, humanity has embarked
on an ocean of disorder with no final order in sight. |
| Alain Joxe is the foremost French
specialist in Strategic affairs and contemporary wars.
He is president of the Interdisciplinary Center for
Research on Peace and director of studies at the Ecole
des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris. |

expert in international studies, offers a timely alternative
to both a micropolitics or a politics of the multitudes.”
