In i>The Empire of Disorder/i>, 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.
