Abstract

So why is a liberal hegemon needed and who should be the ultimate adjudicate in the relationship of one country to another at this time in history? These are the two key issues of this book. Why can’t the United Nations organize the world or be the cop? This chapter looks at the various historic alternative approaches to some form of global order whether it was balance of power, the League of Nations, or the UN and the difficulties all these approaches faced.
