The Empire of Disorder

In The Empire of Disorder Alain Joxe offers the first truly comprehensive analysis of the new world disorder of the twenty-first century. The contemporary world claims Joxe is dominated by the American empire but not ordered by it. This leadership through chaos based on maintaining a creeping peace is at the root of the present organization of violence and barbary on a global scale. At the same time national governments—including that of the United States—are declining in influence as the imperial system fosters transnational mafias corporations and markets.
