ABSTRACT
In spite of a rhetorical resurgence of statism in the literature on world politics, the theme of "world order" has become an important descriptive and prescriptive category of contemporary political life. Hans-Georg Gadamer once drew attention to it when discussing the crucial role that language would play in relation to the concept of world order. The theoretical is the fulcrum of the triangulation of discourse. The French philosopher Andre Glucksmann has emphasized the historical significance of strategic discourse in relation to world order, and its philosophical significance in relation to the nature of political discourse in the modern world. The role of strategic discourse is constitutive in relation to the creation of an "order" that goes beyond the individual state: the progressive "modernization" of the world economy through a global division of labor; the consolidation of the Western state system monitored by superpowers and administered by regional overlords.
