Empire in the Age of Globalisation by Ray Kiely
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.
'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
Ray Kiely is Professor of International Politics at Queen Mary, University of London. He has authored a number of books, including Empire in the Age of Globalisation (Pluto, 2005).
