His position wasn't that this New World Order would fall under the command and guidance of a single One World government as the conspiracy theorists like to claim, but that the face of international relations and alliances would change drastically in the future. Included in such drastic changes are the talks between previously warring cross sections of Iraqi Muslims, talks between Palestinians and Israel, and new alliances built between Major influencers like China, Russia, Iran, etc. His suggestion bears out when considered against such emerging organizations as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization - a cooperative effort between Russia and China to gain control and influence over the oil and gas producers in the 'Stans (and presumably later, Africa). The SCO has become a major force of influence, rivaling NATO in many sectors - but the organization and the function of the alliance does not threaten either China's or Russia's statehood any more than NATO has threatened the Statehood of its members.

Again, the New World Order you hear Kissinger talking about describes a new order of alliances, agreements, treaties, and geopolitics - not the dissolution of sovereign powers to bow universally to a single one-world government.
