More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Combining the work of prominent US and international commentators on globalization, Globalization and Resistance defines the state, and the future, of globalization's role in world affairs. Over the past several years, while visible protests against the World Bank and the I. M. F. made front-page news, there has been a growing field of scholarship that looks at the role of globalization for national and international state identities. The first truism of globalization--that we live in an increasingly interconnected world, one in which it is impossible to separate the fate of one nation from that of the others--was dramatically illustrated on September 11, 2001, when the seemingly distant effects of a civil war in Afghanistan so murderously interrupted life in the United States. Implicating Empire is the first book to look at four crucial dimensions of globalization: first, its role vis--vis the current war; second, the impact of globalization on domestic US policy; third, how globalization will necessarily alter national security, both in its definition as well as how it is pursued, and, finally, the future of globalization. Including original essays by Stanley Aronowitz, Ahmed Rashid, Tariq Ali, Manning Marable, Michael Hardt, and Ellen Willis, among others, Implicating Empire will set the agenda for how globalization is debated--and resisted--in the future.

Three-point-five, really
13 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
Implicating Empire (IE) is another volume in a wave of high-brow globalization texts that has finally dared call out neo-con US foreign policy for what it truly is -- imperialism revisited. IE's synthesis of the economic, political, and military aspects of globalization impresses, but one most appreciates how its authors' (much-needed) enthusiasm and optimism shine through the pages. Unfortunately, IE is a thick academic work that will likely appeal almost exclusively to hardcore anti-gloabilization readers like myself, and for us the text doesn't cover much new ground. Though I wouldn't recommend IE to the casual poli-sci reader, it's a great choice for the dedicated reader who needs to go deeper than Paul Krugman or Michael Moore. Looks great on the shelf too, right next to your copy of No Logo.
