In Praise of Empires: Globalization and Order de D. Lal

In Praise of Empires: Globalization and Order

Autor D. Lal
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 dec 2004
In this timely and controversial book, economist Deepak Lal explores the twin themes of empires and globalization and discusses the place of the US in the current world order. In Praise of Empires argues that not since the fall of the Roman empire has there been a potential imperial power like the United States today, and asks the question: Is a US impirium needed for the globalization which breeds prosperity? What form should this empire take - a direct 'colonial' or 'indirect' empire? Will America be able and willing to run an empire? Lal explores the Islamic threat to the position of the US and the current 'war on terror'.

Recenzii

'A brilliant and provocative scourge of pious thinking on international
politics'- Paul Collier, University of Oxford
'In only 216 pages of tautly written, sharply worded and frankly exhilarating text, Lal sets out the case for imperialism in the modern world, and why the United states could bring untold benefits to the planet if only it could shrug off the notion, held ever since the Revolutionary War-era, that empires are bad things per se.' - Andrew Roberts, The Sunday Telegraph
'Controversial, but tight and historically well-informed.' - BBC History
