Bezlad - Helen Thompson

The turbulence in the world has reached global proportions. How can we understand why the modern world is facing challenges? What are the sources of crises and upheavals in politics, the economy, society, and the energy sector? What other changes await humanity? There are no simple explanations, but understanding important processes can bring us closer to understanding what is happening to the world. The book ‘Disorder. Hard Times in the 21st Century by Cambridge University professor Helen Thompson is a history of our time, a comprehensive guide for those interested in international relations and political issues of our time. This is an opportunity to look at the world from a window that has just been washed. The twenty-first century is a time of geopolitical and economic upheaval that has led to increased geopolitical competition, destabilisation of the Middle East, the crisis in the European Union, and the intensification of old divisions in the United States. Helen Thompson's powerful and balanced study reflects the interconnections between energy, global finance, and the state of liberal democracy.
