Sinossi
Un ordine mondiale veramente globale, cioè un assetto delle relazioni internazionali riconosciuto e condiviso da tutti gli Stati, non è mai esistito nella storia, perché le diverse civiltà hanno sempre considerato la propria cultura e le proprie leggi le uniche universalmente valide. Così ogni epoca è stata caratterizzata dalla supremazia di una o più potenze egemoni che hanno cercato di imporre, nelle rispettive zone d'influenza, il proprio modello di organizzazione politica e statuale, con esiti più o meno duraturi, ma comunque sempre transitori. Lo dimostra l'attuale sistema unipolare a guida statunitense, affermatosi ormai da un quarto di secolo, che dopo aver tentato di esportare su scala planetaria i principi della democrazia e del libero mercato, sembra avviato verso un inarrestabile declino. Ad affermarlo non è un politologo estremista e antioccidentale, bensì Henry Kissinger, che del potere americano e della "vittoria" sull'Unione Sovietica nella guerra fredda è stato uno dei maggiori artefici, nelle vesti di consigliere per la Sicurezza nazionale e di segretario di Stato. Per giungere a questa conclusione e per scrutare nuovi possibili scenari, Kissinger rivisita momenti cruciali della storia mondiale del secondo dopoguerra, riflette sul futuro dei rapporti tra Stati Uniti e Cina, esamina le conseguenze dei conflitti in Iraq e Afghanistan, analizza i negoziati nucleari con l'Iran, le reazioni dell'Occidente alla Primavera araba e le tensioni con la Russia.

Recensioni
I approached this book with a little trepidation. My two previous experiences with Kissinger's earlier books were: Diplomacy, which I found pithy, insightful and very enlightening; and his three volume memoirs which I found to be overwhelming in their level of detail and which eventually defeated my Leggi tutto
This book has a deep knowledge and eloquence about the history of foreign policy and diplomacy. But its analysis of recent events is rendered treacly by his almost embarrassing unwillingness to say a bad word about any modern president -- and particularly those who have asked him for advice and coun Leggi tutto
Beginning in Europe, Kissinger outlines four somewhat competing systems of world order. The Thirty Years War, a continuation of sectarian conflict from the 16th-century Reformation, concluded with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. States were henceforth considered sovereign, and aggressor states were Leggi tutto
Concept of World Order was defined and its implementation determined in Europe. Before that, with no means of interacting with each other on a substantial basis and no framework for measuring the power of one region against another, each order vowed its own as unique and defined others as barbarians Leggi tutto
It is a fundamental work (both in size and significance) overviewing the attempts made by monarchs, polititians, military leaders etc. throughout the human history to create some kind of 'order' or a (fragile) balance of power in the world where this act is next to impossible because of the profound Leggi tutto
I do not share many opinions with Kissinger - and he will not be very troubled to hear this - but given that he has played such an important part in world politics, and has been directly engaged in decisions as serious as war and peace, it is well worth while to see the myths by which he lives. The
“Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-ti Leggi tutto
World Order is an impressive study that focuses on the geopolitical distribution of power. The book methodically provides a multitude of studies enhanced by anecdotal personal experience of the author. Worth to say that Henry Kissinger served as the 56th Secretary of State under presidents Nixon and Leggi tutto
As oppose to many mainstream media - many regards Kissinger as a war criminal. The architect of many US-backed coup and war around the world especially during his tenure as national security advisor during Nixon's presidency. The most memorable and shameful of all was the US war in Vietnam, Laos and Leggi tutto
This is a book that begs to be studied, not just read. Kissinger has spent his career thinking about world order and in this book he looks both forward and back, eliminating much of the static in the view we have of historical events. The result is a clear outline of national interests, power, and i Leggi tutto
