The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Empire in the Age of Globalisation by Ray Kiely

Student guide to globalisation theory and the impact of the US on neo-liberal policies worldwide.

FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

This book examines the relationship between US hegemony and contemporary globalisation. Many introductory textbooks on globalisation tend to be simplistic and conservative. This book moves things forward, providing a critical review of the globalisation debate. Kiely reveals the weaknesses of globalisation theory, and argues that we can only approach a proper understanding of the contemporary world order by linking globalisation to debates on capitalism, imperialism, neo-liberalism and universal human rights. He explores US hegemony in the light of these issues, showing how 'liberal internationalism' cannot be separated from capitalism, neo-liberalism and US empire-building.

Review

'Examines vitally important questions on the nature of modern imperialism and US hegemony' -- Jerry Harris, Professor of History, DeVry University, Chicago, and Organizational Secretary, Global Studies Association of North America

Review Quote

Taking on mainstream globalisation theory, Ray Kiely examines vitally important questions on the nature of modern imperialism and U.S. hegemony. He makes a forceful case that, although divided by 9/11, both Presidents Clinton and Bush have been consistently committed to neo-liberalism and driven to maintain U.S. leadership within the context of globalisation. For all those concerned with the issues of war, poverty and human rights, Kiely offers a cogent critic and insightful analysis well worth the read.
