Reviews

Taking on mainstream globalisation theory, Ray Kiely examines vitally important questions on the nature of modern imperialism and U.S. hegemony. He makes a forceful case that, although divided by 9/11, both Presidents Clinton and Bush have been consistently committed to neo-liberalism and driven to maintain U.S. leadership within the context of globalisation. For all those concerned with the issues of war, poverty and human rights, Kiely offers a cogent critic and insightful analysis well worth the read. -- Jerry Harris, Professor of History, DeVry University, Chicago, and Organizational Secretary, Global Studies Association of North America
