Beskrivning

Until its recent revival the term ‘imperialism‘ had virtually disappeared from academic and political discourse. Today, however, the notion of imperialism, particularly regarding the aggressive projection of state power by the Bush administration, has been put back on the agenda. It has begun to replace the notion of ‘globalization‘ as a framework for grasping worldwide economic, social and political developments. This book explores these events. It looks at the transformations in capitalist development over the past two decades, and the global projection of American power. It assesses the forces of resistance against global neoliberal capitalist development and imperialism, and explores the internal dynamics of the ‘anti-globalization movement‘.

'Has much to offer analytically...the discussion is lively and accessible, and it would make interesting reading not only for students of American politics but also those interested in the broad discussions around globalization. The empirical scope is vast, essentially attempting to identify the sites of American power across the world...Empire with Imperialism presents an engaging argument about the role of the American imperial state.' - Political Studies Review
