Noam (Massachusetts Institute Of Technology) Chomsky 
World Orders, Old and New 

In this widely acclaimed study of global politics, Chomsky offers a devastating critique of conventional definitions of the new world order . It is, he argues, nothing more than an ingenious piece of historical engineering , whereby the pretexts for the Cold War – nuclear threat, Eastern Bloc menace – have been deftly replaced by a new set of convenient justifications for a Western agenda that remains largely unchanged. Now with a new and extensive epilogue on the Middle East, World Orders Old And New is as relevant now as when it was first published.
