The Return of History and the End of Dreams by Robert Kagan, in Albanian version

EMA in cooperation with “Dudaj” Publishing House has the pleasure to present in Albanian the book “The Return of History and the End of Dreams”. This initiative is undertaken in the framework of the project “Upgrading the Understanding of International Relations and Changing Role of the State” supported by the U.S.A Embassy in Albania.

In the past few years, the liberal world has been internally divided and distracted by issues both profound and petty. In “The Return of History and the End of Dreams”, Robert Kagan masterfully poses the most important questions facing the liberal democratic countries, challenging them to choose whether they want to shape history or let others shape it for them.

Hopes for a new peaceful international order after the end of the Cold War have been dashed by sobering realities: Great powers are once again competing for honour and influence. The world remains “unipolar,” but international competition among the United States, Russia, China, Europe, Japan, India, and Iran raise new threats of regional conflict. Through this book, Kagan proves that the grand expectation that after the Cold War the world would enter an era of international geopolitical convergence is just an illusion.

 “The Return of History and the End of Dreams” must be read by policy makers, politicians, students, journalists and all those who are interested in the geopolitics of the XXI century. The book is available at the library of European Studies and International Relations Studies in EMA’s premises, as well as in many Albanian libraries.
