أطلس العالم الشامل
يتكون العالم الشامل - المعولم - البالغ التعقيد، من أحداث خطيرة ومن فرص مؤاتية، يسعى المؤلفان جاهدين معا ليحلا رموزها لنا، فيحذران دون أن يثيرا الرعب ؛ همهما الثابت أن يعلما، أن يشرحا، أن يسلطا الأضواء دون إرهاق القارئ بالتفاصيل أو إغراقة بفوضى التنظير، يعرضان أمام أعيننا الرؤى الكثيرة التي تكونها مختلف البلدان والشعوب عن العالم : هي رؤى عديدة للنظرات المتقاطعة إلى التاريخ وإلى عالمنا الذي تحتشد فيه التناقضات والصراعات والآمال.
BOOK
History strikes back
This translation of the French bestseller \"Continuer l'Histoire\" brings the powerful, articulate message of Hubert Vedrine to an even wider audience. With the astute analysis and acerbic wit for which he is famous, the former French foreign minister offers an overview of world politics since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Critical of both the United States and Europe, he calls for a return to a more realist foreign policy, rejecting the ideological notions of recent years. In \"History Strikes Back: How States, Nations, and Conflicts Are Shaping the 21st Century\", Vedrine takes issue with idealists who believe that states are no longer necessary and that globalization and free markets will automatically make a better world for all. Far from having ended, history continues to present major challenges. When the Eastern bloc collapsed, the West was quick to believe that it had won the battle of history and that its values would prevail everywhere. The ensuing years have belied that faith, however. In dealing with a newly multipolar world, Americans have been too bellicose and Europeans naive. Vedrine shows why Westerners need to discard the illusions that have guided their international relations for more than twenty years. He presents a realistic vision for building a better world and spells out what Europeans expect from the U.S. administration to come. The United States and Europe must partner for a new form of \"smart Realpolitik\" to guide their relations with emerging powers, manage globalization, and deal with environmental challenges.

France in an Age of Globalization
This provocative book takes the form of a dialogue between French Foreign Minister Hubert Védrine and international relations expert Dominique Moïsi. Védrine expresses his frank views of the U.S. \"hyperpower,\" France's role in the world, Europe's future, the current structure of the international system, and the role of ethics in international affairs. Probing the historic, diplomatic and cultural issues that unite and divide two historical allies, the book give unique insights into French thinking about the world, and France and America's respective roles in it. \"Like the French satirical television show that twits the United States for being the 'World Company' that invades peoples lives around the globe, the French foreign minister, Hubert Vedrine, expresses frustration, and perhaps a little envy, at America's dominion... \"Since becoming foreign minister three years ago, Mr. Vedrine, 53, a lawyer and previously the senior foreign policy advisor to Francois Mitterand when he was president, has made a priority of making distinctions between France and the United States. That has left senior American officials muttering more than usual about the French.\" --New York Times

France in a Globalized World
What about France? Instead of leading the process of European transformation that the world so badly needs, France has been going through a period of deeper and more insidious doubt than usual. Its loss of confidence has, in turn, contributed to Europe’s own introversion. The essential question is whether this is just a passing phase or something more enduring.
I am not comparing the current malaise to France’s colossal loss of self-confidence following the disaster of 1940. I believe this new uncertainty results from the evolving state of the world. France has been struggling to adapt to this evolution. In

A Europe That Knows What It Is and What It Wants
For decades now, Henry Kissinger’s famous quip about there being no single phone number for Europe has been a convenient reference point for gloating Americans and regretful Europeans alike. Europeans could often have responded by pointing out that the United States has itself often been divided among three or four competing centers of power, but that would have been facile. In any case we might as well just admit it: there will be no “United States of Europe.” There will be no Philadelphia-style constitutional convention, no equivalent of George Washington talking about how Europeans are “all alike” in a farewell

How to Build a Better World
Deploring political naïveté does not mean abandoning the goal of building a better world. On the contrary, it’s a necessary step toward that goal.
Ideally, the world would follow the guidelines outlined in so many UN and Group of 8 (G-8) communiqués. Human rights would be respected, and men and women everywhere would find personal fulfillment. Everyone would belong to a single community where no one faced discrimination or mistreatment. People would join together to face common challenges like ending poverty, solving global warming, improving human health, ending shortages of clean air and water, preventing pandemic disease, managing migration, preventing

The West in Disarray
When the cold war came to an end, many in the West assumed they were the winners, the new Masters of the Universe. That’s why they are now so disoriented by a world that is turning out to be very different from the one they expected.
In the early 1990s, after undeniable success in a forty-five-yearlong struggle against the Soviet Union, Westerners became intoxicated with their victory. In the United States, the mood was one of unabated triumphalism. President George H. W. Bush talked about creating a “new world order” that would last for decades and serve the interests of
