Systemic Earthquake and the Struggle for World Order

Using the analogy of a devastating series of earthquakes Davutolu provides a new theoretical approach conceptualization and methodology for understanding crisis in the post-Cold War era. In order to grasp the scale and scope of the ongoing crises we are experiencing today Davutolu conceptualizes them as ''aftershocks'' following in the wake of the four great ''quakes'' that have shaken the world in recent times - namely the geopolitical earthquake triggered by dissolution of the Soviet Union 1991; the security earthquake post- 9/11 2001; the economic earthquake associated with the global economic crisis 2008; and the structural earthquake of the Arab Spring 2011. By contextualizing international order as being impacted by a number of intertwined processes the book then looks to the possible futures ahead. Following his analysis of the ongoing systemic crisis Davutolu forges a vision for a new order of global democracy built from the rubble of the systemic earthquake.
