A New World Order

[An] important [book]. By showing how today's world--of what she calls 'disaggregated states'--actually works, Slaughter cuts the ground away from nationalists and internationalists alike. This, she says, is how it is, for America and everyone else. She also, quite clearly, believes that this how it should be ... because nothing else will work... I have absolutely no doubt that Slaughter is on to something. -- Tony Judt New York Review of Books Breaking new ground in international relations theory, Slaughter ... offers genuinely original thinking... [A New World Order] generates much discussion about foreign policy. Publishers Weekly [A] major new statement about modern global governance... Particularly revealing is Slaughter's remarkable account of the cooperation between national judicial authorities and international and regional courts. Foreign Affairs [A] groundbreaking book, a striking combination of both pragmatism and vision... Slaughter represents the cutting intellectual edge of this decade's new way of thinking about global governance. -- Kenneth Anderson Harvard Law Review This excellent, thought-provoking analysis covers a widespread but little studied shift in the way the world works. Financial Times/getAbstract The new world order of network governance will be a better place, especially if the reforms proposed by Slaughter are adopted and networks open up, enabling broader participation and increased accountability. -- Andras Sajo International Journal of Constitutional Law
