Žižek, S. (2000) NATO as the Left Hand of God, Zagreb: Arkzin.

Review by Tony Myers

As with The Spectre is Still Roaming Around, this is a small book/essay which was originally sold only in very limited editions. It focuses on Žižek's critique of the NATO bombing of former Yugoslavia. According to him, this action dramatized a false alternative between the New World Order and the neo-racist nationalists opposing it. For Žižek, on the other hand, these are the two sides of the same coin - the New World Order, in which NATO is the military arm of multi- national capitalism, itself breeds the monstrosities, such as Slobodan Milosevic, that it fights.
