The New Age of Disorder

“In two or three decades, we will have more of an answer to what “The Great Time of Troubles” will have meant for our world. Were we able to maintain peace? Is there still hope for the great global challenges? Do nations see each other as partners in collaboration, or as opponents in an increasingly trying time?

Partly, the answers to these questions will be determined when the policies of our various societies are formed in coming years.

And maybe then, attempts such as this one to understand and explain can make some small contribution to a better—or at least less dangerous—world in the decades to come.”

– Carl Bildt
