The Post Cold War World

This book by a leading scholar of international relations examines the origins of the new world disorder the resurgence of Russia, the rise of populism in the West, deep tensions in the Atlantic alliance, and the new strategic partnership between China and Russia and asks why so many assumptions about how the world might look after the Cold War liberal, democratic and increasingly global have proven to be so wrong. To explain this, Michael Cox goes back to the moment of disintegration and examines what the Cold War was about, why the Cold War ended, why the experts failed to predict it, and how different writers and policy-makers (and not just western ones) have viewed the tumultuous period between 1989 when the liberal order seemed on top of the world through to the current period when confidence in the western project seems to have disappeared almost completely.

Michael Cox is Director of LSE IDEAS and Emeritus Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics, United Kingdom.

This is a first-rate collection of essays by one of Europes leading strategic thinkers. Cox offers fascinating insights on the end of the Cold War as well as its long and complicated aftermath. Anyone trying to figure out the future of great-power politics should read this book.

John J. Mearsheimer, R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago. Author of The Tragedy of Great Power Politics.

Over the last thirty years, Professor Cox has established himself as one of the most important and original thinkers of modern world politics. The end of the Cold War, the rise and decline of American power, the return of great power rivalry, the grand debates in the scholarly canon on all these questions and more, Cox brings his patented blend of incisive, lively, and honest analysis. In these essays, Cox gives us illumination and inspiration.

G. John Ikenberry, Albert G. Milbank Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Princeton University, and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Author of The Liberal Leviathan.

I have been reading Professor Coxs writings for over a quarter of a century, for provocation, pleasure, and profit. This collection of essays shows why. They offer sharp analyses of the key events and debates in the thirty years crisis between the high hopes of 1989 and todays gathering storms. According to conventional wisdom, this period should have produced a peaceful and liberal global order: but it hasnt, and it is in the balance as to whether it ever will. In this highly recommended book, Professor Cox helps explains what went wrong, in theory and in practice.

Ken Booth, Distinguished Research Professor, Aberystwyth University. Author of Theory of World Security.

There are few better guides to the end of the Cold War and the beginning of a new era in international affairs than Mick Cox. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the global politics of the great transition.

Odd Arne Westad, S.T. Lee Professor of USAsia Relations, Harvard University. Author of The Cold War: A World History.

These essays add up to a bracing account of three decades of global upheavals and of experts attempts to understand them. In flowing prose, Mick Cox deploys his deep learning about international politics, history, US, European and Soviet-Russian politics to tackle some of the most fascinating puzzles of our times.

William Wohlforth, Daniel Webster Professor of Government, Dartmouth College Department of Government. Author of America Abroad: Why the Sole Superpower Should Not Pull Back from the World.
