Who wrote an influential article about scarcity, crime, overpopulation and tribalism in a piece entitled 'The Coming Anarchy' which was reportedly recommended to White house staff by the president, a former Governor of Arkansas and Arkansas attorney general?
The Coming Anarchy The Coming Anarchy: How scarcity, crime, overpopulation, tribalism, and disease are rapidly destroying the social fabric of our planet is an influential article written by journalist Robert D. Kaplan, which was first published in the February 1994 edition of "The Atlantic Monthly". It is considered to be one of the fundamental theses on the state of current world affairs in the post Cold War era, and is ranked on the same level of doctrinal importance as Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" and Francis Fukuyama's "The End of History and the Last Man" theses. U.S. President Bill Clinton reportedly recommended the article to White House staff. It has also been criticized as a Malthusian reading of the world, for blaming the situation on its victims and for overlooking alleged political and economical causes such as neoliberal policy.
