| Cold War and cold warriors | 16-NOV-09 |
|
| While Germany celebrated the 20th anniversary of the end of the Cold War in Europe, symbolised by the fall of the Berlin Wall, some remnants of that inglorious era remain. North and South Korea, the Palestinian problem and, in a manner of speaking, the Af-Pak logjam. All essentially legacies of the Cold War. So, while Europe may pop champagne bottles, Asia will have to wait before it can celebrate the end of the Cold War legacy. But there is a bigger legacy issue waiting to be addressed. That is the intellectual legacy of the Cold War. The idea that one or two or even five Big Powers can run the world. In some ways, the creation of the G-20 has undermined this Cold War legacy, but the G-20 is as yet a talk shop. Unless institutions of power are able to re-adjust themselves to new global power equations of the post-Cold War era, we cannot really say we have put the past behind us. |
