Description
This is part of a second-level Open University course presented for the first time in 1994. The course examines the experience of American society this century, using the insights and analytic tools of politics, geography, sociology, history, economics and literature to develop both a complex portrait and an understanding of the most powerful nation in the world. This collection of essays by authorities from both sides of the Atlantic examines the rise of the US to the status of global superpower and its impact upon the global political economy. It explores how US power has come to shape the pattern of worldwide politics in the 20th century and seeks to understand how global interdependence affects the lives of Americans.
