Indeed, this isn't really a book, it seems to be a collection of essays published elsewhere. The author is a good writer but a shallow thinker, he does not put together a coherent argument and after reading the book I was not really sure what he was trying to say. A waste of time. Robert D. Kaplan on toiminut mm. USA:n armeijan erikoisjoukkojen konsulttina ja uuskonservatiivisen New American Foundation -aivoriihen apurahatutkijana. Kuuluu olennaisena osana samaan Imperiumin poliittisia ja strategisia näkemyksiä luonnostelevien hovitutkijoiden kaartiin kuin mm. Francis Fukuyama ("Historian loppu") ja Samuel Huntingdon ("Sivilisaatioiden yhteentörmäys"). Tätä kyseistä kirjaa on radikaali journalisti Frank Morales käyttänyt yhtenä lähteenä selvityksissään sodankäynnin uusista muodoista (kaupunkisota, kansalaislevottomuuksiin varautuminen...) ja "vähemmän tappavista aseista". geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Robert Kaplan, bestselling author of Balkan Ghosts, offers up scrupulous, far-ranging insights on the world to come in a spirited, rousing, and provocative book that has earned a place at the top of the reading lists of the world's policy makers. The end of the Cold War has not ushered in the global peace and prosperity that many had anticipated. Volatile new democracies in Eastern Europe, fierce tribalism in Africa, civil war and ethnic violence in the Near East, and widespread famine and disease--not to mention the brutal rift developing as wealthy nations reap the benefits of seemingly boundless technology while other parts of the world slide into chaos--are among the issues Kaplan identifies as the most important for charting the future of geopolitics. Historical antecedents in Gibbon's Decline and Fall and in the legacies of statesmen such as Henry Kissinger contribute to this bracingly prophetic framework for addressing the new global reality. Bold, erudite, and profoundly important, The Coming Anarchy is a compelling must-read by one of today's most penetrating writers and provocative minds. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
