“Important and timely.”

      James Appathurai, Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy, NATO

      “This is an utterly fascinating, carefully argued and lucidly drafted analysis of the current global circumstances. Holslag provides a deft, informed and multifaceted argument to explain how the highly optimistic views of the future of world politics failed to materialize after the end of the Cold War.”

      Sumit Ganguly, Indiana University

      “Rich and comprehensive, Jonathan Holslag’s book takes readers on a journey of discovery through the major changes in world politics over the past three decades. I will be assigning this book for my undergraduate international relations classes.”

      Kun-Chin Lin, University of Cambridge

      “This wonderfully written book takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the complexity of the last three decades of world politics. Jonathan Holslag connects the dots of a fragmented and scattered global landscape, offering multiple roads to understanding.”

      Federica Mogherini, Rector of the College of Europe, Former European High Representative for Foreign Affairs
