A World Without Meaning; The Crisis of Meaning in International Politics
Editorial Reviews
Review
"A World Without Meaning has been a major influence on French thinking about the wider impacts of globalization on international relations. Particularly, it is a book that analyzes the importance of the `postmodern sentiment' as a salient factor in international relations. Its translation into English is timely and important."
–Richard Higgott, Director, Centre for the Study of Globalization and Regionalization, University of Warwick
Book Description
The end of the Cold War marked not only the end of communism, but the emergence of a globalized world order and a crisis in national and ideological meaning. In this provocative and incisive book, Zaki Laidi argues that no power in our globalized world can any longer claim to provide meaning. As people look to old models like nationalism, religion and ethnicity to help them forge an identity, Laidi questions their effectiveness and certainty in a globalized world in a permanent state of flux. Our current inability to make sense of the world reveals an end to a way of thought dating back to the Enlightenment.
