The modern world increasingly resembles the era before World War I. Odd Arne Westad, one of the leading historians of international relations, draws attention to this disturbing parallel. The rise of new powers, economic competition, and the struggle for technological supremacy create a dangerous combination of factors that have already led to global catastrophe. Could history repeat itself?
In the book “The Storm is Coming,” a Yale University professor analyzes the modern world through the prism of the history of great powers. He shows how the current multipolar order was formed, why the rise of new states, Russian policy, internal contradictions in the West, and the struggle for supremacy in the fields of nuclear technology and artificial intelligence are increasing global tension.
Drawing on the experience of the era before 1914, Westad, in a brilliant essayistic presentation, explains how the fears, resentments, and strategic miscalculations of states, as well as the decisions of specific political leaders, can push the world towards World War III.
