Description
American Foreign Policy and Its Thinkers by Perry Anderson A magisterial account of the ideas and figures that have shaped the American Empire. Since the nation's founding, impulses of empire have been at its heart. This book explores how these urges interact with America's understanding of itself and the nature of divergent interests in its foreign policy. Anderson charts the intertwined historical development of America's imperial reach and its role as a guarantor of capital, tracing internal tensions from the Second World War to the War on Terror. Despite the defeat of the USSR, the planetary structures for warfare and surveillance have not been retracted but extended. The book concludes with a survey of US grand strategy, as leading thinkers grapple with the tasks and predicaments of the American imperium today. Through its analysis, Anderson sheds light on the complexities of America's role in the world and the challenges it faces in the 21st century.
