The Myth of Global Chaos

by Yahya Sadowski

The Myth of Global Chaos Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

After the Cold War, America's hopes for new world order evaporated with new violence in such places as Somalia and Bosnia. A new school of thought called "chaos theory" argues that the spread of Western culture offends many and triggers violence. The author discredits chaos theory, claiming diplomacy, military preparedness, and economic development work best.

Book News Annotation:

Sadowski (Middle East studies, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies) critiques the application of chaos theory in post-Cold War foreign policy, using detailed studies of Bosnia and global comparisons. He shows that globalization has not played a decisive role in fueling recent conflicts, and finds no evidence that warfare has become more savage or frequent since 1989. He argues for the use of traditional tools such as diplomacy, economic development, and military preparedness for preventing future conflicts.
