In no domain of political science scholarship have we paid a higher price for our discipline’s insistence on separating “American” and “Comparative” studies than in the domain of parties, and never has the error of our ways been more striking than now. Although we have readily consented to weave such terms as “globalism”, “interdependence”, and even “new world order” casually into our discourse, most of us have not seriously imagined that the momentous developments these terms summon to mind have serious meaning for the way we study our own political parties-nor have we made significant changes in the way we study the parties of others.

This chapter develops an eleventh “plague” onto Jacques Derrida's list of ten plagues of the New World Order in his Specters of Marx: the growing global climate crisis. Forging an amalgam from Derrida and Heidegger, it shows that the eleventh plague was not just “one more plague” but was at the heart of the first ten, or at least was intimately implied or caught up in them. In the most summary form, this would be to show that questions of violence, law, and social justice are inseparable from ecological sustainability. A similar move would demonstrate that another candidate for the eleventh plague—the animal holocaust—is closely connected both with the first ten plagues and ecological sustainability, perhaps serving as a bridge of sorts. Derrida's remarks about the animal holocaust, and about human suffering and misery, are set in the context of people's denial, blindness, and refusal to acknowledge these phenomena, and the way that human suffering especially represents the contradiction, the hidden waste, produced by an ever more efficiently functioning system.

In his dramatic sketch The New World Order Pinter exposes practices of psychological and physical abuse targeted at local people who resist neo-colonial advancements in territories directly occupied or indirectly controlled by Western hegemonic powers. Through the deployment of Pinteresque double-layered meanings conveyed through seemingly ordinary, everyday language, the drama unveils the ideological premises and operating principles of neo-colonial discourse. The paper discusses the way Pinter blasts apart a seemingly neutral Western rhetoric of humanitarian militarism, focusing on the discursive strategies by means of which neo-imperial violence, torture and massive dispossession of local populations are justified and naturalized.

The author addresses three major case studies which articulate the notion of a refugee crisis in thought-provoking ways. Indeed, The Suspended Step of the Stork (1991), Ephemeral Town/Efimeri Poli (2000) and The Way to the West/O Dromos Pros ti Dysi (2003) merge conventions of art cinema and documentary in order to challenge discourses of charity and the very concept of a ‘crisis’. In their venture, filmmakers convey mass migration as a tragedy of displacement and homelessness. They expose the reluctance of Greece in its role as host, the new world order of globalization and the hardships of refugees, trapped in prostitution rings and in perpetual search for a home away from home. The debate on representation is extended in order to critically engage with problematic notions of anonymity that stereotypically adorns representations of refugees and it is argued that, in their attempt to screen mass migration as a tragedy, filmmakers reinforce the silence and victimhood of refugees.

The central idea of Henry Kissinger's latest book, The Global System, is that the world desperately needs a new world order, otherwise geopolitical chaos threatens the world, and perhaps chaos will prevail and settle in the world. According to Kissinger, the world order was not really there at all, but what was closest to the system was the Treaty of Westphalia, which included about twenty Western European states for almost four centuries.

The Gulf crisis 1990-1991 is one of the important historical events of the 1990s, which gave rise to the new world order by the sovereignty of the United States of America on this system. The Gulf crisis was an embodiment to clarify the features of this system. .     The crisis in the Gulf was an opportunity for the Moroccans to manage this complex event and to use it for the benefit of the Moroccan situation. Therefore, the bilateral position of the crisis came out as a rejection, a contradiction and a supporter of political and economic dimensions at the external and internal levels. On the Moroccan situation, and from these points came the choice of the subject of the study (the dimensions of the Moroccan position from the Gulf crisis 1990-1991), which shows the ingenuity of Moroccans in managing an external crisis and benefiting from it internally.
