Since 9/11, policy-makers and observers have questioned whether Americashould don the mantle of empire for the sake of world peace, or whetherpeace will come through world government. Locating GlobalOrder questions the very idea that the political order ishierarchical, with state and international institutions at the top andgroups and individuals at the bottom. Chapters examining various casestudies on Canada’s role in the construction and maintenance oforder domestically and internationally reveal that the global orderpost-9/11 is not exclusively American – allied powers are a keycomponent of its hegemony.
