A New World Order Anne-Marie Slaughter

Slaughter challenges traditional views of international relations, which often focus solely on state-to-state interactions. She highlights the increasing importance of these cross-border networks in areas like law enforcement, financial regulation, and judicial cooperation. She contends that these networks are essential for tackling contemporary global issues such as terrorism, transnational crime, and economic instability. The book provides a detailed analysis of how these networks operate, offering numerous examples and case studies.
It argues that instead of a traditional hierarchical world order, the current world order is one of disaggregated states, that are connected through global networks.The book also delves into the importance of those networks, and how they can be used to improve global governance.

In essence, “A New World Order” offers a perspective that shifts the focus from traditional international relations to the intricate web of connections that shape global governance in the 21st century.
