Locating Global Order by Bruno Charbonneau, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

While the events of 9/11 provoked countless debates aboutinternational politics, security, and global order, one questiondominates. Should the United States don the mantle of empire for thesake of world peace, or will peace come through world government?This volume questions the very assumptions of this debate –that the political order is hierarchical, with state and internationalinstitutions at the top and individuals and groups at the bottom. Casestudies dealing with Canada’s role in the construction andmaintenance of global order, both domestically and internationally, reveal that the location of social and political practices creatingglobal order is no longer certain. How are these practices influencingAmerica’s ability to structure its power around the world? Whatare the links between Canadian security policy, our involvement in thewar in Afghanistan, and US power?Rather than taking the state and international system for granted, thistimely and remarkable book demonstrates that global order post-9/11 isnot exclusively American – allied powers are a key component ofits hegemony. | Locating Global Order by Bruno Charbonneau, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
