Schon ein paar Jahre alt, aber immer noch interessant zu lesen

... ist ein Spiegel-Interview mit Herny Kissinger aus dem Jahre 2014:

'Do We Achieve World Order Through Chaos or Insight?'


Henry Kissinger is the most famous and most divisive secretary of state the US has ever had. In an interview, he discusses his new book exploring the crises of our time, from Syria to Ukraine, and the limits of American power. He says he acted in accordance with his convictions in Vietnam.

SPIEGEL: Dr. Kissinger, when we look at the world today, it seems to be messier than ever -- with wars, catastrophes and chaos everywhere. Is the world really in greater disorder than ever before?
Kissinger: It seems that it is. There is chaos threatening us, through the spread of weapons of mass destruction and cross-border terrorism. There is now a phenomenon of ungoverned territories, and we have seen in Libya, for example, that an ungoverned territory can have an enormous impact on disorder in the world. The state as a unit is under attack, not in every part of the world, but in many parts of it. But at the same time, and this seems to be a paradox, this is the first time one can talk about a world order at all. 
Manch bemerkenswerte Einsicht, versteckt in Nebensäötzen kann hier gefunden werden – eine recht gute Analyse einzelner Passagen findet sich hier.
