Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>In 1990, right after the Berlin Wall fell, <italic>NPQ</italic> published our Spring edition, titled "The New World Disorder, " about the nationalistic chaos and up‐in‐theair sensibility of that fraught new historical moment.</p> <p>Nearly a quarter of a century later, the regime of globalization that had supplanted the Cold War world of blocs is itself coming apart at the seams. Even Henry Kissinger these days says "the world order is crumbling."</p> <p>Will this New World Disorder 2.0 revert to a system of conflicting blocs, as during the Cold War, or will we be mature enough to save the interdependence of plural identities that is the foundation of a new global civilization?</p> <p>In this section our contributors offer their perspectives on what the future holds.</p> </abstract>
