自冷战以来，自由国际主义一直是西方的外交政策议程，而西方长期占据着等级体系的最高层。在本书中，Hilton Root认为，与其他复杂生态系统一样，国际关系体系存在于不断变化的格局中，在这种格局中，等级结构正在让位于网络化的相互依存的体系，从而改变了全球互动的各个方面。因此，政策制定者需要一种新的方式来理解变革的过程。 Root指出复杂系统的科学提供了一个分析框架来解释当今全球政治经济中不可预见的发展失败，治理趋势和联盟转变。从这个角度看，Root考虑了东西方的分歧; 欧洲国家的出现，与中国崛起的对比，以及各自创新体系的网络属性; 发展中地区的民主轨迹; 以及中国对自由世界秩序的系统性影响。他认为，复杂性科学不会以算法的精确性来解释历史变化过程，但它可能提供与这些过程的混乱丰富性相匹配的解释。
Hilton L. Root是国际政治经济与发展专家，乔治梅森大学公共政策学院的教授。他是《同盟的诅咒：美国如何失去第三世界》，《资本和合谋：全球经济发展的政治逻辑》和其他书籍的作者。
Liberal internationalism has been the West’s foreign policy agenda since the Cold War, and the West has long occupied the top rung of a hierarchical system. In this book, Hilton Root argues that the system of international relations, like other complex ecosystems, exists in a constantly shifting landscape in which hierarchical structures are giving way to systems of networked interdependence, changing every facet of global interaction. Accordingly, policymakers will need a new way to understand the process of change. Root suggests that the science of complex systems offers an analytical framework to explain the unforeseen development failures, governance trends, and alliance shifts in today’s global political economy. From this perspective, Root considers the divergence of East and West; the emergence of the European state, its contrast with the rise of China, and the network properties of their respective innovation systems; the trajectory of democracy in developing regions; and the systemic impact of China on the liberal world order. Complexity science, he argues, will not explain historical change processes with algorithmic precision, but it may offer explanations that match the messy richness of those processes.
Hilton L. Root, an expert on international political economy and development, is Professor at the George Mason University School of Public Policy. He is the author of Alliance Curse: How the U.S. Lost the Third World, Capital and Collusion: Political Logic of Global Economic Development, and other books.
