Henry Kissinger Calls for New World Order
Henry Kissinger, Washington's
doyen of the national security elite, is calling for America to collaborate in
establishing a new world order.
We invite our readers to read his Wall Street Journal
think piece and ask
whether the United
States has common cause with actors such as Russia and
China.
Kissinger begins:
Libya is in civil war, fundamentalist armies are building a
self-declared caliphate across Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan's young democracy
is on the verge of paralysis. To these troubles are added a resurgence of
tensions with Russia and a relationship with China divided between pledges of
cooperation and public recrimination. The concept of order that has underpinned
the modern era is in crisis.
The search for world order has long been defined almost
exclusively by the concepts of Western societies. In the decades following
World War II, the U.S.—strengthened in its economy and national
confidence—began to take up the torch of international leadership and added a
new dimension. A nation founded explicitly on an idea of free and
representative governance, the U.S. identified its own rise with the spread of
liberty and democracy and credited these forces with an ability to achieve just
and lasting peace. The traditional European approach to order had viewed
peoples and states as inherently competitive; to constrain the effects of their
clashing ambitions, it relied on a balance of power and a concert of
enlightened statesmen. The prevalent American view considered people inherently
reasonable and inclined toward peaceful compromise and common sense; the spread
of democracy was therefore the overarching goal for international order. Free
markets would uplift individuals, enrich societies and substitute economic
interdependence for traditional international rivalries.
