"In the wake of the 1999 Kosovo War, Gilbert Achcar argued that the world had entered a New Cold War, characterized by a state of permanent readiness for war on the part of the United States, Russia, and China. Archcar's analysis proved remarkably prescient. In the years since, the US has positioned itself as a global hegemon, China has become an economic powerhouse allied with Russia, and Russia had launched pre-emptive wars to block NATO, culminating in Vladimir Putin's murderous invasion of Ukraine in 2002. How did we get here? As Achcar details in The New Cold War, the rivalries of the Cold War didn't disappear with the collapse of the Soviet Union; they simply mutated into new forms. Frighteningly, the New Cold War has become increasingly hot in the European theater, ratcheting up tensions in ways with which we have yet to reckon. With erudition and sobering analysis, Achcar argues that only by understanding this new landscape can we begin to imagine the contours of an alternative, more peaceful world"--Back cover.
