Abstract

"Noam Chomsky is a pioneering scholar in the field of linguistics, but he is better known as a public intellectual: an iconoclastic, radical critic of US politics and foreign policy. Chomsky's Challenge examines most of the major subjects Chomsky has dealt with in his nearly half century of intellectual activism--the Vietnam War, America's broader international role (especially its interventions in the Third World), the structure of power in American politics, the role of the media and of intellectuals in forming public opinion, and American foreign policy in the post-Cold War world. Chomsky is as controversial as he is influential. Admirers see him as a courageous teller of unpleasant truths about political power and those who wield it in the United States. Critics view him as a propagandist and ideologue who sees only black and white where there are multiple shades of gray. While Chomsky's fans tend to view him uncritically, his critics often don't take him seriously. Unlike any previous work, this book takes Chomsky seriously while treating him critically. The author gives Chomsky credit for valuable contributions to our understanding of the contemporary political world, but spares no criticism of the serious deficiencies he sees in Chomsky's political analyses"-- ""Assesses Noam Chomsky as a political analyst and dissenting public intellectual. Examines most of Chomsky's major writings since the Vietnam War, on topics including America's other interventions in the Third World, the structure of power in American politics, the role of the media and of intellectuals in forming public opinion, and American foreign policy since the Cold War"--Provided by publisher"--

Abstract

The imagination of America's political elites is dominated by a unipolar vision, according to which the world is dominated by the United States. But the real world is increasingly plural, and others instinctively fear and resist the American vision. Chapters 2 and 3 of this book look at the disastrous consequences of the vision at work - in the Middle East and in Europe. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 assess the limits of American power. Chapter 7 discusses the problems of order and coexistence in a world that is not unipolar but increasingly plural. It speculates on the possible contributions and likely fate of both 'Old America' and 'New Europe' as models for organizing the future. America's own constitutional equilibrium, David Calleo argues, increasingly requires friendly balancing from Europe. Both sides of the West must liberate their imaginations from past triumphs to face their responsibilities to the new world and to each other.

Abstract

In there four incisive and keenly perceptive essays, one of out most celebrated and respected historians of modern Europe looks at the world situation and some of the major political problems confronting us at the start of the third millennium. With his usual measured and brilliant historical perspective, Eric Hobsbawm traces the rise of American hegemony in the twenty-first century. He examines the state of steadily increasing world disorder in the context of rapidly growing inequalities created by rampant free-market globalization. He makes clear that there is no longer a plural power system of states whose relations are governed by common laws--including those for the conduct of war. He scrutinizes America's policies, particularly its use of the threat of terrorism as an excuse for unilateral deployment of its global power. Finally, he discusses the ways in which the current American hegemony differs from the defunct British Empire in its inception, its ideology, and its effects on nations and individuals. Hobsbawm is particularly astute in assessing the United States' assertion of world hegemony, its denunciation of formerly accepted international conventions, and its launching of wars of aggression when it sees fit. Aside from the naivete and failure that have surrounded most of these imperial campaigns, Hobsbawm points out that foreign values and institutions--including those associated with a democratic government--can rarely be imposed on countries such as Iraq by outside forces unless the conditions exist that make them acceptable and readily adaptable. Timely and accessible, 'On Empire' is a commanding work of history that should be read by anyone who wants some understanding of the turbulent times in which we live.

Abstract

Waarom moeten we 1200 euro betalen voor een iPhone die slechts 300 euro kost? Omdat enkele grote bedrijven, zoals Apple, AB Inbev, Zara of Amazon veel te dominant zijn geworden. Het zijn forten geworden met een brede, diepe slotgracht eromheen. De ongeëvenaarde technologische vooruitgang heeft die innoverende bedrijven ook toegelaten de concurrentie te fnuiken. Dat maakt dat zij de prijzen van hun producten kunstmatig hoog kunnen houden en grote winsten kunnen genereren. Maar daardoor is er minder productie, vervolgens minder vraag naar banen en zo ontstaat een neerwaartse druk op de lonen.Deze evolutie is funest voor heel velen. Kleine bedrijven hebben het moeilijk om te overleven en mensen die minder hooggeschoold zijn gaan erop achteruit. Hun reële lonen zijn vandaag de dag lager dan veertig jaar geleden. Ze verloren dus aan koopkracht en dat leidt onvermijdelijk tot sociale onrust.Eeckhout pleit voor een onafhankelijke competitie-autoriteit, liefst wereldwijd, die de middelen krijgt om de marktmacht van de supersterbedrijven binnen de perken te houden.Bron: www.bol.com

Abstract

"Belgium was a small, neutral country without a colonial tradition when King Leopold II ceded the Congo, his personal property, to the state in 1908. For the next half-century Belgium not only ruled an African empire but also, through widespread, enduring, and eagerly embraced propaganda, produced an imperialist-minded citizenry. Selling the Congo is a study of European pro-empire propaganda in Belgium, with particular emphasis on the period 1908-60. Matthew G. Stanard questions the nature of Belgian imperialism in the Congo and considers the Belgian case in light of literature on the French, British, and other European overseas empires. Comparing Belgium to other imperial powers, the book finds that pro-empire propaganda was a basic part of European overseas expansion and administration during the modern period. Arguing against the long-held belief that Belgians were merely "reluctant imperialists," Stanard demonstrates that in fact many Belgians readily embraced imperialistic propaganda. Selling the Congo contributes to our understanding of the effectiveness of twentieth-century propaganda by revealing its successes and failures in the Belgian case. Many readers familiar with more-popular histories of Belgian imperialism will find in this book a deeper examination of European involvement in central Africa during the colonial era"-- "Examination of pro-empire propaganda advanced by Belgium during its colonial rule of the Congo"--

Abstract

In recent years serious attempts have been made to systematize and develop the moral and political themes of great philosophers of the past. Kant, Locke, Marx, and the classical utilitarians all have their current defenders and arc taken seriously as expositors of sound moral and political views. It is the aim of this book to introduce Hobbes into this select group by presenting a plausible moral and political theory inspired by Leviathan. Using the techniques of analytic philosophy and elementary game theory, the author develops a Hobbesian argument that justifies the liberal State and reconciles the rights and interests of rational individuals with their obligations.Hobbes's case against anarchy, based on his notorious claim that life outside the political State would be a "war of all against all," is analyzed in detail, while his endorsement of the absolutist State is traced to certain false hypotheses about political sociology. With these eliminated, Hobbes's principles support a liberal redistributive (or "satisfactory") State and a limited right of revolution. Turning to normative issues, the book explains Hobbes's account of morality based on enlightened self-interest and shows how the Hobbesian version of social contract theory justifies the political obligations of citizens of satisfactory States.

Abstract

Pendant la guerre de Sécession, le port de New York a atteint son apogée relatif dans le commerce extérieur américain. Cependant la fin de ces conditions exceptionnelles ne marque pas le retour au statu quo car, désormais, jusqu’à la fin du XIXe siècle, le roi-coton doit partager sa couronne avec les céréales. Si New York maintient son hégémonie aux importations, il voit sa suprématie contestée aux exportations, principalement de grains, par ses riveaux les plus proches, Boston, Philadelphie et Baltimore. L’objet de cet ouvrage est l’analyse de la rivalité entre ports pour la domination du commerce des États-Unis, à un moment où ce pays devient le grenier de l’Europe industrielle.

Abstract

Francis Fukuyama's criticism of the Iraq war put him at odds with neoconservative friends both within and outside the Bush administration. Here he explains how, in its decision to invade Iraq, the Bush administration failed in its stewardship of American foreign policy. First, the administration wrongly made preventive war the central tenet of its foreign policy. In addition, it badly misjudged the global reaction to its exercise of & benevolent hegemony.& And finally, it failed to appreciate the difficulties involved in large-scale social engineering, grossly underestimating the difficulties involved in establishing a successful democratic government in Iraq. Fukuyama explores the contention by the Bush administration's critics that it had a neoconservative agenda that dictated its foreign policy during the president's first term. Providing a fascinating history of the varied strands of neoconservative thought since the 1930s, Fukuyama argues that the movement's legacy is a complex one that can be interpreted quite differently than it was after the end of the Cold War. Analyzing the Bush administration's miscalculations in responding to the post& September 11 challenge, Fukuyama proposes a new approach to American foreign policy through which such mistakes might be turned around& one in which the positive aspects of the neoconservative legacy are joined with a more realistic view of the way American power can be used around the world.
