New Form, Old Forces, and the Future of World Politics examines the dominant features of world politics, asking which are durable and active in shaping the future and which are of declining or transitory influence. Seyom Brown, Professor of Politics at Brandeis University and an Associate at the Harvard University Center for International Affairs, shows how the current system of nation-states is out of step with economic, technological, and cultural realities. He concludes that the most likely outcome of current struggles is global polyarchy - a configuration in which there are no clear patterns of power. Oriented to the use and needs of United States policy makers, New Fortes, New Form, Old Forces, and the Future of World Politics offers suggestions for future foreign policies that will meet our world's challenges to the survival of the human species. A pre-eminent political scientist, Seyom Brown has served as consultant to various government agencies, as Senior Fellow at The Brookings Institution, and as Director of the Program on U.S.-Soviet Relations for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
