Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions. Since the Cold War was officially declared over in 1990, to be followed by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the announcement by US President Bush of the existence of a 'New World Order', global events now appear to be moving so rapidly and chaotically that disorder seems a more appropriate description of what is happening in the international system. It has even been suggested that an 'unparalleled popular interest in international affairs' has taken place as 'a natural reaction to the spectacle of a shrinking globe, a sober reflection on the part of millions of bewildered people who have learned through bitter experience that their own lives and fortunes may be jeopardized by the turn of events in a remote part of the world'. Those 1who have yet to consult the note might guess that those words were written quite recently—in 1991 perhaps, possibly even as far back as 1989. In fact they were written in 1940, in one of the earliest textbooks specifically dedicated to international relations. Historians often irritate other scholars when they point out that there is rarely anything new under the sun. The phrase 'New World Order', after all, was used by H.G. Wells as long ago as 1944. From the establishment of the international news agencies in the mid-nineteenth century to the formation of the global digital superhighways of today, the speed at which information flows around the world has revolutionized every aspect of our daily lives in ways no less significant than the agricultural and industrial revolutions did so. This 'communications revolution' had no tangible beginnings, in that it can be traced back variously to the development of the printing press, of writing, even of language, and it is certainly far from finished as we approach the next millennium in anticipation of travelling through 'cyberspace'. But the past one hundred and fifty years, and the past fifty especially, have seen it accelerate at an ever more rapid rate, to the point where it is now almost impossible to understand how our world ever functioned without telephones, television or computers. Indeed, 'the technologies and institutions of communication that have become so central to world politics and economics over the past couple of decades have fundamentally altered the nature and sources of power and influence, both domestically and internationally'. 71. When was the phrase 'New World Order' used? And who used the phrase?
