In the early 1990s, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the resulting collapse of the Soviet empire, and the first Gulf War, one heard much about the coming ''new world order.''The end of history had arrived, we were told; the final solution of the problem of social organization had shown itself to be the self-determination of peoples in the form of liberal parliamentary structures of government and a liberal market economy, which were rapidly and relentlessly replicating themselves across the globe.Atavistic ethnic hatred and obstinate fundamentalist resistance to the benefits of modernity were said to be the result of simple moral failure.Once recalcitrant agents of evil were removed and the world's various populations were exposed to the benefits of the American way of life, resistance would melt away and the new order would be painlessly instantiated.Ideologically, this order would be based on a potent ''blend of idealism and egoism'' that proclaimed ''individual success'' and ''individual self-fulfillment . . . to be a God-given right'' that ''enhances freedom while generating wealth''; geopolitically, the new order was to be marked by the expansion of an ''indirect and seemingly consensual American hegemony''
