Amazon.com description: Product Description:

This brief book stresses the profound global transformation that has occurred since 1945 as a result of the collapse of the remaining great colonial empires, and the emergence of nation-states throughout the world. Its thematic emphasis makes clear as well the importance of the Cold War in influencing the process by which these nation-states sought to create new ideals and new institutions—to insure order and justice within their boundaries, and find places within the international community. The book also links the new nation-states in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, with the ethnic conflicts, local wars, and terrorist movements that became increasingly prevalent toward the end of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. For a world-historical perspective on contemporary civilization.

About: This book explores, chronologically, the intertwined international, political, and economic aspects of contemporary world history from 1945 to the 1990s--showing how these three factors taken together explain in large measure the evolution of global conflict and cooperation—from the alliances of the Second World War, to the appearance of the superpowers following the Second World War, to regional peacekeeping after the end of the Cold War.
