As we watch UN member states flail around trying to deal with climate change and globalization, it is perhaps worth revisiting a paper by my colleague Phil Williams from June 2008.

Rather than continue to focus on defeating enemies, notes Professor Williams, the US and other states will soon need to learn to manage chaos.
