Abstract

The beginning of the twenty-first century is characterized by the exponential accumulation succession of serious events: crises, indiscriminate terrorist acts and wars. Void of any pessimism or complacency, this article constitutes the foundation of a critical analysis of the situation prevailing in the world. This deeply resembles disorder. Beyond this acknowledgement, and as a simple con- tribution, some indicative tracks are explored for the elimination of this world disorder.

Le désordre du monde

Le début du XXIe siècle se caractérise par l’accumulation et la consécution vertigineuse d’événements graves : crises, actes terroristes aveugles et guerres. Cet état de fait est au fondement d’une analyse critique, sans pessimisme ni complaisance, de la situation qui prévaut dans le monde. Celle-ci s’apparente profondément à un désordre. Par-delà ce constat et en guise de simple contribu- tion, quelques pistes indicatives sont explorées pour la résorption de ce dérèglement du monde.
