This paper serves as an introduction to the special section on Global Culture Revisited which commemorates the 30th anniversary of the publication of the 1990 Global Culture special issue. It examines the development of interest in the various strands of globalization and the question of whether there can be a global culture. The paper discusses the emergence of alternative global histories and the problematization of global knowledge. It examines the view that the current Covid-19 pandemic signals a turning point, or change of epoch, that marks the end of peak globalization (Gray, Mignolo). The paper also discusses the view that global was always a limited cartographic term which failed to adequately grasp our terrestrial location on the earth (Latour). Currently, there is considerable speculation about the emergent politics of a new world order, with civilizational states set alongside nation-states, opening up an epoch of greater pluriversality, and at the same time greater uncertainty.

This chapter looks to the real “New World Order.” Conventionally, international relations as well as international law concentrated on the interactions of nation-states. On this model, the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, Kenya, Mexico, and the Bahamas, for example, are principally the irreducible units. Recent thinking emphasizes that instead, international relations more and more consists of executive, legislative, and judicial officials directly reaching out to their foreign counterparts to share information, forge ongoing networks, coordinate cooperation, and construct new frameworks. The traditional nation-state has today become “disaggregated,” dealing with its peers less as monolithic sovereign states than through these more specialized “global networks.” Notably, the counterparts that officials of one state seek out in others tracks the divisions of separation of powers: executives to executives, judges to judges, legislators to legislators. How such transnational, interdepartmental networking affects each branch of government within a given state is another matter.

AbstractIf ever there were a time to think critically about the development of public school leaders and the universities that prepare them, it is now. That is the message that saturated my mind as I reflected on the articles for this special issue. The U.S. educational setting, where I reside and work, is unlike the Norwegian one. However, our experiences are not completely foreign to Norwegian students in school leadership development. This collection of articles helps to illuminate these differences and similarities, as well as the path for all countries toward more democratic, humanistic models of leadership that our students, governments, and global community need now more than ever.

‘New world order’ examines globalized art production and consumption. Just as business executives circled the earth in search of new markets, so a breed of nomadic global curators began to do the same, shuttling from one biennial or transnational art event to another. At first, the filtering of local material through the art system produced homogeneity. The contemporary art produced by the shock of exposure to neoliberal economic forces, in Russia and Scandinavia and the contemporary art from communist governments, China and Cuba, are important parts of the new world order. As other powers emerged to challenge the US, and as neoliberalism fell into disrepair, new worlds were revealed.

The world is suddenly talking about the emergence of “Greater China.” The term has appeared in the headlines of major newspapers and magazines, has been the topic of conferences sponsored by prominent think-tanks, and is now the theme of a special issue of the world's leading journal of Chinese affairs. It thus joins other phrases – “the new world order,” “the end of history,” “the Pacific Century” and the “clash of civilizations” – as part of the trendiest vocabulary used in discussions of contemporary global affairs.

This paper diagnoses the present-day global disorders and upheavals—social, political and economic—as symptoms of a transition set in motion by the incapacity of existing international arrangements to contain and mediate tensions and conflicts, both actual and potential, in international affairs. They point to the need for the creation of a new international institution that would take into account the widespread aspiration and urge for a restructuring of the international power system. It finds in history, especially since the emergence of modern nation-states (coincidentally with the expansion of the capitalist mode of production and its global thrust for the creation of a market global in its sweep), evidence of attempts at setting up international order-keeping institutions. The last such attempt in the shape of the United Nations, although more universal and democratic than its predecessors, mirrored the power structure that existed at the time of its birth. The world scene has changed enormously since, thanks to the emergence of many more new nation-states following decolonization, all conscious and assertive of their rights and all grappling with the complex problems bequeathed to them by colonialism. The UN has time and again demonstrated its incapacity to cope with the various problems—even in such a crucial sphere as war-prevention and peace-keeping. The article proposes, as a solution, the creation of a world authority that would facilitate the transition to a new world order. It then defines the functions of such a world authority and the powers it will have to be armed with to perform its functions.
