Product Description:

The American'led 'war on terror' has arguably brought about the most significant shift in the contours of the international system since the Cold War. The essays collected in this volume analyse the historical, socio-economic and political dimensions of the current international conjuncture, and assess the degree to which the 'war on terrorism' reflects a significant shift in the nature and projection of US global power. Drawing on a range of critical social theories, this collection seeks to ground, historically, global developments since the inception of the new Bush Presidency and weigh up the political consequences of the war on terrorism
