GLOBAL RIVALRIES FROM THE COLD WAR TO IRAQ
By
Kees Van Der Pijl
In this well-documented study of modern international history, the author:
- challenges the notion that the world today has been unified under a single economic system (capitalism) with an ‘international community’ policing it to protect democracy and human rights;
- views capitalist globalisation as opening up rifts of the past, exhausting nature, exacerbating inequality and creating instabilities;
argues that the apparent homogenisation of the global political economy hides a definite movement towards social crisis and conflict; and
- deals with some of the key issues of our time, in the time-honoured manner of the great sweep of history.
