The Global Gamble:

Washington's Faustian Bid for World Dominance

Verso, 1999 - 320 sidor

In The Global Gamble, Peter Gowan argues that, since the collapse of the Soviet bloc, the US government has been pursuing an attempt to construct a global empire a unipolar world in which Washington can control and shape the pattern of economic and political change in all regions of the globe. Only by understanding this ambition can we grasp the dynamics of international politics and economics in the contemporary world. Gowan explores the origins and distinctive forms of Washington's imperial project, from the collapse of the Soviet bloc through to the Gulf War of 1991, developments in the European Union, the enlargement of NATO and East Asian financial collapse. He also explores the efforts of various neoliberal intellectuals to legitimate the American project in terms of liberalism. He concludes that the US Faustian project is almost certainly doomed to failure and unless plans are made now for such an eventuality, the world could face grave and possibly catastrophic breakdowns early in the next century.

Användarrecension - Alysemac - Goodreads

So far, so good... Minus one star for making claims that contradict the conventional wisdom of recent history without the necessary evidence. I'm a big believer in footnotes. Läs hela recensionen

Användarrecension - Ryan - Goodreads

Best account of neoliberalism I've read so far, even though it ends before Dubya. That's actually one of its strengths - you can't blame it all on our second-generation Lone Star. Lots of accounts ... Läs hela recensionen
