Power, Profit and Prestige: A History of American Imperial Expansion

Meer over het boek

Analyzing the United States' post-Cold War imperial behavior, the book delves into the formation of imperial identity and the cultural underpinnings of American foreign policy. It highlights how entrenched beliefs in American primacy hinder both domestic and international democratic transformations. The author warns that this resistance to change could precipitate a self-inflicted crisis for the US empire. It serves as a valuable resource for students of history and international relations, particularly in a shifting global landscape where America's influence wanes.
