In his book, Richard Haass offers a sobering examination of the current state of the world, arguing that the global order that has existed for decades is unraveling. He analyzes the historical roots of this disarray, from the Peace of Westphalia to the end of the Cold War, and explores modern challenges like terrorism, cyber threats, and great power rivalries. Haass proposes a new operating concept, 'World Order 2.0,' which advocates for an updated notion of sovereignty that includes obligations alongside rights, providing a roadmap for navigating this turbulent era.
