Summary:

In the multipolar “Wolf Word,” Europe must reorganize itself to maintain peace and stability as conflict erupts around the globe. Wars rage in Europe and the Middle East, while tensions in East Asia threaten to ignite another. Enter the power-driven Wolf World, where the law of the jungle prevails. Marc Saxer argues that this dangerous world was brought about by the twin crisis of liberalism, which fuels illiberal revolts against liberal democracies and has led to the collapse of the liberal world order. He examines how, after the end of Pax Americana, major and minor powers navigate the geopolitical competition and geoeconomic disruption shaping an asymmetrical multipolar world. Drawing on the historical experiences and philosophies that inform alternative concepts of order in non-Western civilizations, Saxer explores how a multipolar rules-based order could stabilize the Wolf World.
