Several different processes had interacted to produce radical changes that no longer fitted into traditional Cold War categories: the emergence of global interdependence; the erosion of the bipolar balance of power and the rise of new actors in international relations; the affirmation of new political cleavages along with the rise of new global challenges. It was the moment in which a new and interdependent global order began to emerge. 9 To many historians

In The Killing , for example, there are ‘the crime plot’, involving the brutal rape and murder of a young girl; ‘the political plot’, set in motion when a local politician becomes a major suspect; and ‘the family plot’, focusing on the murdered girl’s friends and family.

We live in a media-saturated age in which political progress is visibly hampered by the increasing interdependence, and yet differing degrees of autonomy, of nation-states on a global stage. Western societies are increasingly marked by a loss of the collective at the level of local

The interviews in this book, although concerned with the overarching purpose of ending the conflict in Northern Ireland, also detail efforts to create the conditions for interdependence to work and how choreography was central to the cultivation of such a
