The shock of the global

The 1970s, often seen as a period of trouble in the West, was a pivotal decade globally, marking the reintegration of the world and the rise of globalization. This era saw the breakdown of the postwar economic order, the emergence of non-state actors, and increased attention to transnational issues like environmental protection and human rights. This book examines the large-scale structural upheaval of the 1970s, revealing an international system undergoing enduring transformations beyond national borders and superpower relations.
