Więcej o książce
With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War in 1990, the world seemed safer, heralding a new era of peace and economic revolution driven by technology. In 1995, Robert Harvey published a work that was deemed alarmist for suggesting that the rise of ethnic nationalism, globalization of capitalism, and various humanitarian crises indicated a drift toward a new global crisis. Critics noted that Harvey aimed to halt change by creating a crisis that would empower the Cold War ruling class to control an unstoppable economic revolution. In light of September 11, Harvey revised his analysis, addressing the dangers facing today's world and proposing significant reforms for global security. He examines the USA's rise as the world's first 'megapower,' the sources of instability that threaten peace, and the risks of unregulated capitalism. The final part presents necessary reforms and actions that Western democracies, especially the USA, must undertake, including Harvey's insights on the US/Iraq stand-off.
