Bertrand Badie, professeur des universités à l’IEP de Paris (Sciences Po), s'est imposé comme l'un des meilleurs experts en relations internationales. Il est l'auteur d'une vingtaine d'ouvrages qui font référence et conseiller de la rédaction de L’état du monde depuis une vingtaine d'années.
In this decisive work, Bertrand Badie delivers a series of keys to understanding, far different from the usual lazy, consensual explanations. This eminent specialist in international relations reminds us we are no longer alone in the world and that it is high time to break with the Cold War mentality and the infamous “balance of powers” and stop treating those who contest our vision of global order as “deviants” or “barbaric”. He calls for diplomacy among Western countries that wish to continue governing the world against the passage of time.
An emeritus professor at Sciences Po-Paris, Bertrand Badie has gained recognition as one of the most prominent experts in international relations. He has written 20 or so referential works.
