Description
An urgent examination of the world barrelling toward a new Cold War, from a scholar on the diplomatic front lines
With a historian’s eye and a theorist’s ingenuity, Michael Doyle, whose writings on liberal peace have revolutionised modern statesmanship, cogently assesses the tectonic shifts threatening a global order that has held for more than seventy years. As tensions among China, Russia and the US escalate perilously towards a new Cold War, Doyle introduces a radical paradigm that will facilitate the international cooperation necessary to avert the global threats of our time.
Combining dramatic history with trenchant analysis and landmark theory, Doyle explores the impacts of cyberwarfare, foreign election meddling and the unprecedented schism of modern politics on American foreign policy. He demonstrates that there can be no success in addressing climate change without China’s cooperation, nor any hope of averting nuclear catastrophe without Russia’s.
In the tradition of Gaddis’ The Cold War and Clark’s The Sleepwalkers, Cold Peace provides one of the most necessary analyses of global power in decades.
