The Battle for the New World Order
A Strategic Account of Power and Law
China’s and Russia’s imperial drive to enlarge their spheres of influence change the balance of powers around the globe. The western community of states is unsettled by the new US administration, whose emphasis on America’s own interests puts into question free trade and the familiar alliance of NATO. Do we, thirty years after the end
of the cold war, face once more the emergence of a new world order?
Matthias Herdegen gives a strategic account of the interplay of power structures and international law. By bringing together scholarship on international relations with international law, the book opens new territory. In light of the competition between geopolitical interests of the US, Western Europe, Russia and China, Herdegen urges that a new realism is required in politics and economics. This also includes the demand that Germany must accept the geopolitical responsibility that is entailed in its increased political and economic stature.
