Bringing together an outstanding group of thinkers, Worlds in Collision is the essential book for understanding the debate about the future of global order in the wake of international terrorism and the war in Afghanistan. For years to come, if not decades, the ''war on terrorism'' will be the defining paradigm in the struggle for global order. When the victim of such horrific terror attacks happens to be the world''s only superpower, the agenda is set for the future global order.
