Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Will nation-states survive past the year 2000? Will the information age and the resulting global community provide a new model, a "fourth empire" that will redefine how people pursue and protect their freedoms? In The End of the Nation-State, the author provides an indispensable primer for the new world order emerging before our eyes.

Review
Guehenno’s thought-provoking ideas will certainly generate discussions and controversy. -- Library Journal

Jean-Marie Guéhenno’s brilliant essay is informative, perceptive, and beautifully written. I warmly, even enthusiastically, recommend it. -- Elie Wiesel

This book, widely read in France, is written by a brilliant former French policy planner and current ambassador. -- Francis Fukuyama, Foreign Affairs

This is a book of remarkable intellectual range. . . Refreshingly clear-minded. -- The Economist

This thoughtful book deserves not only a wide reading, but careful study, for it is full of excellent insights. -- Eugene D. Genovese, The Washington Times

5.0 out of 5 stars The End of the Nation State: The Beginning of the Future?, February 19, 1998
Guéhenno's lucid and imaginative discussion in The End of the Nation-State presents a collection of arguments that are interwoven so neatly that the book often reads as smoothly as a good novel. But the character of the book is as much a clear argument as it is a mosaic of visionary speculation. The narrative brings us Guéhenno's thoughtful vision of a future "imperial" world, with its blurring geographical boundaries, changing poles of authority, and networking global society. Perhaps in a derogatory analysis, his synthesis of argument (without citation) and speculation would be construed as fiction, but it should not be. Intimations of the coming age, which Guéhenno finds in the politics of the United States, Japan, Lebanon, France, Italy, Israel and Palestine, illustrate the empirically grounded theorizing and perspicacious observation the author brings to important, and perhaps previously unnoticed, changes in world affairs. While it is always easy to disparage an author's efforts at clairvoyance, most of Guéhenno's hypotheses in this book are presented so cogently, and often poetically, that many of his future scenarios, however chilling and undesirable, seem almost inevitable.

3.0 out of 5 stars A world without borders?, September 4, 2000
By A Customer
A book of incredible reach and quite impressive assertions. For anyone interested in the future of the state, the 'new economy' or the way mankind is going it is a must-read! It touches nearly every subject currently being discussed on those areas. For all the praise regarding the provocativness of his theses, Guehenno fails to answer a vital question. What AFTER the state? No clear vision is given on how the tasks fused in that unique organisation will be transferred. Guehenno shares this problem with his fellow globalizers, such as Kenichi Ohmae. On the whole it is a refreshing book which seeks to explain the current economical-technological revolution and provides a mind-boggling insight into how a networked world might look like.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Global Economy, December 3, 1996
By A Customer
Guehenno was among the first to consider the impact of the flow of information on government borders. He puts the situation into historical perspective.
