The New Cold War

One of the world's most seasoned international relations experts updates and revises his far-sighted 1999 book arguing that the Cold War did not, in fact, end with the collapse of the USSR – and that the US, Russia and China today are locked anew in a spiral of hostilities. Gilbert Achcar is Professor of Development Studies and International Relations at SOAS, University of London. His other works include Perilous Power: The Middle East and US Foreign Policy (with Noam Chomsky), The Arabs and the Holocaust and The People Want: A Radical Exploration of the Arab Uprising (both published by Saqi Books).
