The objective of the journey is not to prove that one “order” is superior to another, but to argue that “an order” is needed for the world to avert a descent into chaos. He presents as a series of “reflections” in World Order a journey from the moment that the world’s powers agreed on “an order” to organize international relations-the signing of the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 at the end of the Thirty Years War-through to our current day. Henry Kissinger divides the world geographically, but analyzes it through a cultural lens. ![]() ![]() ![]() Together, Poppy and Casteel must embrace traditions old and new to safeguard those they hold dear-to protect those who cannot defend themselves.
