After Authority offers an overview of the evolving international
political "revolution," a historical perspective based on Lipschutz's
writings over the years. It also examines the prospects for war and
peace in the twenty-first century. During earlier "industrial
revolutions," long-standing and apparently stable patterns of social
behavior, economic exchange, and political authority came under
challenge.

Today, post World War Two institutions that were formed to
create a peaceful, economically-prosperous world, are under severe
challenge by globalization, liberalization, and social innovation. Old
hierarchies of power and wealth have been undermined as people take
advantage of new economic and political opportunities, and the
resulting disruption of expectations leads to fear, uncertainty,
instability, and violence.
