<p><strong>'In a superb analysis of the meaning of the Cold War and the fall of the (Berlin) Wall, the author carefully crafts his argument.'</strong> - <em>Global Social Policy, 1 (1)</em></p>

In this provocative and incisive book, Zaki Laidi argues that as our world becomes ever larger, our ability to find meaning in it diminishes. With the end of communism came the end of the intimate alliance between power and ideology. No power in our globalised world can any longer claim to provide meaning. In despair we look back to old models (religious traditions, nationalism, ethnicity) to give us a sense of identity. But in a globalised world in a permanent state of flux, just how effective are these old certainties?
