Seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges sucht Amerika nach einer neuen Theorie, um das Chaos in der heutigen Welt zu erklären. Der Konflikt der Supermächte ist Geschichte, aber was hat ihn ersetzt? Thomas Barnett bietet in „Der Weg in die Weltdiktatur“ eine wegweisende Annäherung an die Globalisierung, die militärische, ökonomische, politische und kulturelle Aspekte verbindet. Er liefert eine umfassende Deutung des Wesens von Krieg und Frieden im 21. Jahrhundert und knüpft an die Werke von Thomas Friedman und Francis Fukuyama an. Barnett präsentiert grundlegende Klärungen für unsere unübersichtliche Zeit und spricht in einer leicht verständlichen Sprache, ohne von oben herab zu belehren. Sein Aufruf zum Handeln geht über Parteipolitik hinaus und richtet sich an uns als Menschen, unabhängig von politischen Überzeugungen. Er kritisiert und lobt sowohl republikanische als auch demokratische Regierungen. Inmitten einseitiger Erklärungen von selbsternannten Regierungsinsidern ist sein Werk besonders willkommen. Barnett gibt uns eine Perspektive, um Sinn hinter chaotischen Ereignissen zu erkennen, und skizziert einen Weg in eine friedlichere Zukunft. Er wird als einer der bedeutendsten strategischen Denker unserer Zeit angesehen, und sein Ansatz gilt als äußerst provokant und weitsichtig.
