Action and reaction in the world system : the dynamics of economic and political power / Thierry de Montbrial. - Vancouver [B.C.] : UBC Press, ©2013. - 1 online resource (xx, 352 pages)
Originally published under the title: L'action et le système du monde.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Part One : Theory. 1 Active Units and Praxeological Problems: An Introduction -- 2 Potency -- 3 Conflicts and Their Resolution -- 4 The Concept of Strategy -- 5 The Stability of Systems of Active Unites -- 6 Interantional Relations Theory -- 7 The Object and Nature of Economics. Part Two : Aspects of Praxeology. 8 Perspectives on the International System -- 9 Globalization, Market Economy, and Unemployment -- 10 Ideology, Culture, and Action -- 11 Ethics and Politics -- 12 State Sovereignty and the International Community -- 13 The Engineer and the Economist -- 14 Strategy, Forecasting, and Chance -- Appendices.
This book occupies the same niche as Raymond Aron's 1962 classic, Peace and War. While Aron wrote during the Cold War, Thierry de Montbrial writes about the post-Soviet international system, a system that is multipolar, ideologically heterogeneous, and thus highly unstable. In this book, he lays the foundation for a praxeology, or a "science of action," to facilitate a better understanding of the dynamics of international problems and a more systematic approach to policy making. A major contribution to international relations theory and winner of the 2002 Georges Pompidou Prize, this book offers the necessary keys to decrypt the international system in the 21st century.
