Nizam al-'Alami al-Jadidالنظام العالمي الجديد-حدود

Translated to Arabic, 'The New World Order: Sovereignty, Human Rights, and the Self-determination of Peoples.' The unifying theme of these chapters - written from a wide variety of national and cultural perspectives - is the conflict between cultural relativism and human rights in the postmodern world. Eleven authors address these questions to determine the meaning and limits of national self-determination after the fall of communism.

This book is essential reading for all who seek to understand the emerging international system of the twenty-first century.

Review

'For those interested in the evolving area of human rights in international relations, this volume provides well-presented theoretical arguments surrounding the key issues, as well as detailed case studies. For scholars in this field, this volume is highly recommended reading.' --Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies
