Description: Four scholars level a critique of the rapid expansion of the emerging American empire and its oppressive and destructive political, military, and economic policies. Arguing that a global Pax Americana is internationally disastrous, the authors demonstrate how America's imperialism inevitably leads to rampant irreversible ecological devastation, expanding military force for imperialistic purposes, and a grossly inequitable distribution of goods-all leading to the diminished well-being of human communities. – from publisher information.
Notes: Papers from two conferences on American empire.
