A New World Order Paperback – Illustrated, August 7, 2005
Purchase options and add-ons
Global governance is here--but not where most people think. This book presents the far-reaching argument that not only should we have a new world order but that we already do. Anne-Marie Slaughter asks us to completely rethink how we view the political world. It's not a collection of nation states that communicate through presidents, prime ministers, foreign ministers, and the United Nations. Nor is it a clique of NGOs. It is governance through a complex global web of "government networks."
Slaughter provides the most compelling and authoritative description to date of a world in which government officials--police investigators, financial regulators, even judges and legislators--exchange information and coordinate activity across national borders to tackle crime, terrorism, and the routine daily grind of international interactions. National and international judges and regulators can also work closely together to enforce international agreements more effectively than ever before. These networks, which can range from a group of constitutional judges exchanging opinions across borders to more established organizations such as the G8 or the International Association of Insurance Supervisors, make things happen--and they frequently make good things happen. But they are underappreciated and, worse, underused to address the challenges facing the world today.
The modern political world, then, consists of states whose component parts are fast becoming as important as their central leadership. Slaughter not only describes these networks but also sets forth a blueprint for how they can better the world. Despite questions of democratic accountability, this new world order is not one in which some "world government" enforces global dictates. The governments we already have at home are our best hope for tackling the problems we face abroad, in a networked world order.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2017Excellent transaction and book.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2013I agree with Dr Slaughter that we're facing a transition from an old framework of political power in the international arena to a new one. But I can't help but ask myself if she had chosen the best sample of professionals to infer her conclusions. Lawmakers, justices and policy makers don't represent societies and can't be seen as classes that will determine the trends of a new order. In fact the author write about those elitists professional classes and... only from western countries with a majority of white persons. Maybe it's difficult to Dr Slaughter to deal with non western societies and non elite professionals. I understand perfectly her intellectual project - to make an effort to answer new movements that will reshape the imbalance of power in the international arena. However, it starts not with the meetings of those social and professional classes but from the demand side. A reform of the international arena is a necessity that will bring practical answers to problems that came to surface with the globalization of the economy. And with universal problems such as climate change that touch everyone in this planet. A new world order will become necessary but it will not start with people that go to a fancy hotel in the shores of the Seine river to meet their peers. On the contrary.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2004This excellent, thought-provoking analysis covers a widespread but little studied shift in the way the world works. The advance of international communications, technology, economics and finance networks has had an unmistakable effect on business and industry. The ways states function has also changed - shifting the operation of the world order. Author Anne-Marie Slaughter, dean of Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, is on expert ground. She asserts that networks of financiers, regulators, judges and even legislators can solve problems that would be intractable if left only to traditional states and familiar international organizations. She provides many examples of such networks, notes the criticism against them and suggests norms to govern their conduct. Her book is not light reading. Readers need some familiarity with international organizations and institutions (sometimes cited by unexplained acronyms), but we highly recommend this book to sophisticated observers of international policy.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2009I ask where is the peoples demand for a new world order. This new world order is one coming from elites who have not shown they are concerned about people but only profits.The ruling elites only goal is to stay the ruling elite.There is nothing democratic about world government. Most of the problems in this world are ones fomented by elites and bankers to manipulate things to serve their own selfish interests.This book is world government propaganda.Down with the New World Order. Power to the People
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2005This book is a must-read for any student of International Affairs. By providing historical and present-day examples of international and transnational relations among states, Dean Slaughter brilliantly lays the framework and provides justification for a new disaggregated, effective, and just world order. Both synoptic in organization and substantive throughout, this book will prove valuable to all readers regardless of political affiliation or school of thought.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2012Government propaganda all the way. They want to reduce world population to 500 million. complete genocide. Protect the rights of the people, not the rights of the government.
