Political Reflections: A Compilation of Articles on a World in Crisis is an affirmation of primarily outcomes emanating from power and leadership. It speaks volumes about a series of political episodes all-encompassing of proxy confrontations and domestic and international miscalculations that closed the curtains on the 20th century and launched a new millennium as well. It is a tale of continuity in theories/doctrines propelled by characteristics of democracy and radicalism. The narratives depict America and associated NGOs too often unprepared and/or unwilling to heed the call for universal revival. Russia´s laxity or preoccupation with regaining its once held position of supremacy is equally liable for global regression. In the end, the text alludes to mounting trials of injustice and underlines the urgency for resolve to avoid the abyss.
