Sapelli considers a range of developments in different spheres, from international to national politics, military aggressions, and worldwide political trends such as the rise of populism, to illuminate the moment of neoliberal crisis in which we now live. He argues that Europe and its institutions in particular no longer demonstrate a model of diplomacy and statesmanship, with the rise of technocratic structures and elitism reflecting how an ideal of global convergence towards liberalism and democracy no longer holds true. The book then considers how a new international order based on the reason of state can be brought about by global cooperation between the US, Russia and China, along with a return to properly regulated finance and a renewed focus on community in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The book will be of interest to those working in international economics and international relations, as well as academics of economic history and political economy. 606 $aGlobalization$xHistory 606 $aInternational economic relations$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics$xHistory 615 0$aGlobalization$xHistory. 615 0$aInternational economic relations$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics$xHistory. 676 $a303.482 700 $aSapelli$b Giulio$f1947-$0116236 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746954303321 996 $aStates, Markets and Wars in Global History$93573770 997 $aUNINA
