Few if any prophets have been so calm, steady and thoroughly vindicated as Paul Rogers. At the time he warned that if the USA invaded Iraq, it would initiate a disastrous thirty-year war that would spread out across the Middle East and suck America to defeat. And here we are, only two-thirds of the way through. Equally, he emphasized at the start of the century the twin dangers of climate change and hi-tech bellicosity. Free from florid rhetoric, incredibly patient and rooted in careful research, he needs to be read and listened to. Now in this lucid overview of the current 'polycrisis' he sets out what can be done before it is too late. -- Anthony Barnett, co-founder and former editor of openDemocracy

People ask what is going wrong with the world, given the new wars, extreme populist movements, climate breakdown, poverty, inequality, and exclusion. There is a sense of unease that things are falling apart, which is reflected both in global insecurity--a seeming failure to negotiate or mediate effectively in desperate wars--Ukraine, Sudan, and Gaza--and dismay at rampant social injustice and rising poverty. This book meets such concerns head-on, analyzing the worsening insecurity trap we are in and how to get out of it.
