Hagger vividly narrates events as they happen, with a new, fresh perspective that links day-to-events to this overriding theme: the initial split between the US and Europe caused by the American withdrawal from the funding of NATO and its withdrawal of its support for Ukraine; Trumps bombing of Irans nuclear sites; the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska; the Chinese military parade; and the initial success of the 20-point Gaza Peace Plan. Hagger argues that the solution to the problem of supremacist war in both the West and the East is to swerve away from the pursuit of unipolar supremacy to a merging of the Western rules-based international old world order and the Eastern or Eurasian New World Order of China, Russia and the BRICS countries into a World State that includes all the Great Powers: the US, the EU, Russia and China. This World State would have a democratic, presidential, partly-federal world government that would have sufficient authority to abolish war and enforce disarmament, and would bring in a new World Peace, a Pax Mundi: a Pax Universalis, a Universal (and Universalist) Peace. Both books are required reading for all interested in the future of the West and concerned at new threats from the East.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57695165350261,"sku":"9781806950645","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781806950645.jpg?v=1793031617"},{"product_id":"declining-west-and-a-multipolar-new-world-order","title":"Declining West and a Multipolar New World Order","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe first of two volumes that set out the conflict between the Western old world order and the rising Eastern or Eurasian New World Order that includes China, Russia, North Korea, Iran and the BRICS countries until May 2025.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Declining West and a Multipolar New World Order is the first of two volumes that set out the conflict between, and attempts to bring peace to, the Western rules-based international old world order and the rising Eastern or Eurasian New World Order that includes China, Russia, North Korea, Iran and the BRICS countries. In this first volume Hagger narrates, with a new, fresh perspective that links day-to-day events to this overriding theme, the Wests decline from supremacy in a unipolar world to the bipolar world of the Cold War after the Second World War; back to the brief unipolar world after the collapse of the Soviet Union; and on to the multipolar world of today, with 8 primary and 6 secondary poles. Vividly catching events as they happen, he covers Trumps response in the early months of his second term to the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and stops at the failure of the peace talks on Ukraine in Istanbul in May 2025. Hagger describes the deepening sense of the Wests decline and the feeling that a Third World War was imminent, and contrasts the dangerous conflict between West and East with the hope that West and East can unite in one democratic, presidential, part-federal world government and World State that will include the US, the EU, Russia and China and have sufficient authority to abolish war and enforce disarmament. He continues this theme in the sequel to this book, Swerving a Third World War. Both books are required reading for all interested in the future of the West and concerned at new threats from the East.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57695165448565,"sku":"9781806950669","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781806950669.jpg?v=1793031618"},{"product_id":"accidental-professor","title":"Accidental Professor","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe story of a psychedelic pioneer. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA series of vignettes about the life and times of David E.
