The global distribution of power has shifted and the preeminence of the West is receding as new directions for world order emerge. In Debating Worlds, Daniel Deudney, G. John Ikenberry, and Karoline Postel-Vinay have gathered a group of eminent scholars in the field to analyze the various ways in which the West's dominant narrative has waned and a new plurality of narratives has emerged. Collectively, the contributors map out these narratives, focusing primarily on their key features, origins, and implications for world order. Covering the most influential narratives currently shaping world politics, Debating Worlds is an essential volume for all scholars of international relations.
