Yet the early euphoria over \"peace dividends\" and a \"new world order\" was premature.

They tackle such fundamental questions as: What is the future of the international system as we approach the twenty-first century? What will be the fate of disintegrating nation-states, and how will the international community respond? Has the nation-state outlived its usefulness?
