New World Order: Opposing Viewpoints

The New World Order: Opposing Viewpoints is a book in the Opposing Viewpoints series. It presents selections of contrasting viewpoints on five central questions about the new world order[1]: what it will be; what role the U.S. will play in it; what role economics will play in it; how the end of the Cold War will affect the world; and what role international organizations (such as the UN and NATO) will play in it. It was edited by Matthew Polesetsky, with assistance from William Dudley.

It was published by Greenhaven Press (San Diego) in 1991 as a 261-page hardcover (ISBN 0-89908-183-5) and paperback (ISBN 0-89908-158-4).
