Product Description
Bringing together major thinkers of our time, including Francis Fukuyama, Benjamin Barber, Noam Chomsky, Bhikhu Parekh and Fred Halliday among others, "Worlds in Collision" sets the agenda for the debate about the future of the world order in the wake of international terrorism and the war in Afghanistan. There is no agreement among politicians, journalists and commentators as to the shape of the future of world order in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. No agreement, that is, on anything other than the simple fact that the world has changed. In this respect, the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon have brought to a close the ill-defined "post" period that came after the Cold War.

Customer Reviews
A well rounded analysis
This book contains some of the key political thinkers of the age and provides a fascinating insight into all aspects of political change as a result of the September 11th attacks. It is easy to read and yet contains in depth analysis of an academic level. It is equally useful from an academic and a general interest perspective and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to look beyond the human interest stories of September 11th into what the political consequences have been for the world.
The World post-9/11
An excellent contribution, this book is a must for anyone who wants to understand the impact of 9/11 on the World. It utilizes a diverse range of scholars who provide different perspectives, which is useful. I particularly enjoyed: Keohane, Gray, Halliday and Waltz.
So much has been written on 9/11 that an IR student might be led down the wrong path, this is worth reading.
