About the Book
While the events of 9/11 provoked countless debates about international politics, security, and global order, one question dominates. Should the United States don the mantle of empire for the sake of world peace, or will peace come through world government?
This volume questions the very assumptions of this debate -- that the political order is hierarchical, with state and international institutions at the top and individuals and groups at the bottom. Case studies dealing with Canada’s role in the construction and maintenance of global order, both domestically and internationally, reveal that the location of social and political practices creating global order is no longer certain. How are these practices influencing America’s ability to structure its power around the world? What are the links between Canadian security policy, our involvement in the war in Afghanistan, and US power?
Rather than taking the state and international system for granted, this timely and remarkable book demonstrates that global order post-9/11 is not exclusively American -- allied powers are a key component of its hegemony.

Reviews
"This is one of the few books about 'global' politics that has engaged my attention in a long time. It is well informed, well edited, and equally well written. Locating Global Order is both important and provocative -- important, in that it insists on interrogating the relationship between politics and location to avoid clichés about territorialized nation-states or patterns of globalization; provocative, in that it disrupts some powerful claims about where politics ought to be occurring."
-- R.B.J. Walker, author of After the Globe/Before the World
"Locating Global Order is interesting, intelligent, and accessible. It would work well as a reader for senior undergraduates and graduate students in Canadian foreign policy and related fields."
-- Mark Neufeld, author of The Restructuring of International Relations Theory
