'Few are better placed than Ahmet Davuto?lu to make sense of the momentous events shaping the Middle East, with possible ramifications for the whole world. His analytical ability, wide experience and knowledge are lucidly combined in this book which is accessible to both scholars and those with a general interest in the region.' Awn Al-Khasawneh, Prime Minister of Jordan, 2011–2012

Using the analogy of a devastating series of earthquakes, Davuto?lu provides a new theoretical approach, conceptualization, and methodology for understanding crisis in the post-Cold War era. In order to grasp the scale and scope of the ongoing crises we are experiencing today, Davuto?lu conceptualizes them as 'aftershocks', following in the wake of the four great 'quakes' that have shaken the world in recent times - namely, the geopolitical earthquake triggered by dissolution of the Soviet Union, 1991; the security earthquake, post- 9/11, 2001; the economic earthquake associated with the global economic crisis, 2008; and the structural earthquake of the Arab Spring, 2011. By contextualizing international order as being impacted by a number of intertwined processes, the book then looks to the possible futures ahead. Following his analysis of the ongoing systemic crisis, Davuto?lu forges a vision for a new order of global democracy, built from the rubble of the systemic earthquake.
