Military strategist Barnett provides a cutting-edge approach to globalization that combines security, economic, political, and cultural factors to predict and explain the nature of war and peace in the twenty-first century. Building on the works of Thomas L. Friedman and Francis Fukuyama, and then taking a leap beyond, this book offers hope at a crucial yet uncertain time in history.--From publisher description.
