Chas Freeman: The Old World Is Dying, and the New World Struggles to Be Born

Antonio Gramsci wrote in the late 1920s: "The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born - now is the time of monsters". The Western-centric world is coming quickly to an end, yet an alternative has not yet been born.

Ambassador Freeman is a career diplomat (retired) who was Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs from 1993-94, earning the highest public service awards of the Department of Defense for his roles in designing a NATO-centered post-Cold War European security system and in reestablishing defense and military relations with China. He served as U. S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia (during operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm). He was Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs during the historic U.S. mediation of Namibian independence from South Africa and Cuban troop withdrawal from Angola.
