内容説明・目次

内容説明

Recent debates on imperialism have focused on the means by which Euro-American capital is spread around the globe. The Economic Partnership Agreements being foisted on the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries by the European Union, however, has been under the radar. European Bloc Imperialism plays a vital role in filling that void by bringing into focus the economic partnership agreement as a conduit of European imperialism. By respected Professor of Sociology Dennis C. Canterbury, this is a bold examination of the reality of modern international trade.
