Abstract

In this landmark book, Robert Cooper sets out his radical interpretation of our new international order. He argues that there are now three types of state: lawless “pre-modern” states; “modern” states that are fiercely protective of their sovereignty; and “post-modern” states such as those that operate on the basis of openness, law, and mutual security. The United States has yet to decide whether to embrace the “post-modern” world of interdependence, or pursue unilateralism and power politics. Cooper shows that the greatest question facing our post-modern nations is how to deal with a world in which missiles and terrorists ignore borders and where Cold War alliances no longer guarantee security. When dealing with a hostile outside enemy, should civilized countries revert to tougher methods from an earlier era – force, preemptive attack, deception – in order to safeguard peaceful coexistence throughout the civilized world? The Breaking of Nations is a prescient examination of international relations in the twenty-first century.

Abstract

Le commerce des armes représente 1.400 milliards de dollars par an, soit l’équivalent du PIB de la Russie en 2010. Cependant, aucune règle ne l’encadre. Les Etats peuvent choisir sans aucune contrainte à qui ils vendent les armes que leurs entreprises produisent. Chaque jour, des millions de personnes souffrent des conséquences directes et indirectes d’un commerce des armes irresponsable dont 90 % est assuré par les cinq membres du Conseil de sécurité et Israël. Il est donc urgent d’adopter un instrument international juridiquement contraignant régulant ce secteur pour réduire le coût humain du commerce des armes. Fruit de plusieurs personnalités et relayé par des ONG, un Traité historique est en passe de voir le jour malgré les réticences de certains Etats sceptiques à son égard.
