Subject(s): Summary: An assessment of the state of the world written by one of Britain's most senior diplomats. In it he considers whether the new postmodern world built on openness, the rule of law, and international relationships is capable of surviving attacks by fanatics and terrorists; small groups that now may be able to wield the kind of power that until recently was the preserve of states only. Then there are the other parts of the world that fall into what are identified as the lawless pre-modern states and the protectionist modern states, both of which might be a source of violence against the post moderns.
