内容説明
After Iraq traces Iraq's colonial history, Saddam Hussein's brutal rise to power and their relationship to Iraq's major oil reserves. Harding also explores the rise of Pax Americana and the worldwide military expansion of the US following Bush Junior's presidency. He exposes the stark challenges to international law, multi-lateralism, the UN and to the USA's neighbours and allies. Harding suggests there are frightening ramifications for the USA's own democracy lurking in the fundamentalist proposition that we must make a choice in a "clash of civilizations." He emphasizes the need for concerted activism to challenge a US-dominated new world order.

内容説明
This examination of the United States-led war in Iraq presents the war as a geopolitical watershed moment in which the U.S.`s unilateralism presents stark challenges to international law, multilateralism, and the United Nations. A historical overview of Iraq`s colonial history and Saddam Hussein`s brutal rise to power accompanies a discussion of the worldwide military expansion following the election of George W. Bush as U.S. president. This comprehensive analysis provides an introduction to political science concepts and presents a hopeful perspective on the global situation that calls for concerted activism to challenge a U.S.-dominated new world order.
