Planetarische Politik nach dem Kalten Krieg

This book is one of the few clear-sighted analyses of global power relations in recent decades. Although the book was written in the 1990s, its diagnosis of an increasingly conflict-ridden, multipolar world seems more relevant today than ever. Kondylis describes how, after the end of the East-West conflict, no stable order emerged, but rather an open struggle for influence, resources and cultural hegemony. At a time when geopolitical tensions, technological upheavals and global crises are dominating world affairs, Kondylis' work offers a clear theoretical framework for understanding these developments. His sober analysis of political dynamics helps to contextualise current conflicts and identify longer-term trends. For anyone who wants to understand today's world politics beyond the daily headlines, this book is an indispensable classic – provocative, precise and surprisingly contemporary.
