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.

France's Answer to "Freedom Fries",
By seydlitz89 "seydlitz89" (Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empire of Disorder (Foreign Agents) (Paperback)
Definately worth a read. Well written work on 21st Century strategic theory from the european "Republican" perspective, as applied to the "Empire of Disorder" formerly known as the USA.
Very nice discussion of the current application of Clausewitz to strategic theory. Take this as the French response to all the fulminations coming from various Reaganist propagandists as to France being America's new "enemy". The French response is as would be expected very intellectual and well presented, but like good French red wine should not be taken in too healthy of portions at a single sitting . . .
