Global Power-Shift
This book provides a framework to analyze the Euro-zone crisis and the effects of Euro-Atlantic neo-imperialism. It examines how top-down authoritarianism and austerity foster right-wing populism and racism, particularly amid the global shift towards China. It critiques ordoliberal/neo-liberal austerity and its impact on Western economies.
The book examines America's complex status as an empire, arguing that despite military dominance, its economic foundations have been eroding since the Vietnam War. It engages with debates on American decline versus enduring superpower status, analyzing systemic vulnerabilities such as financialization, resource depletion, and environmental degradation. By linking domestic issues to foreign policy challenges, it offers a critical perspective on the neo-imperial governance of the United States since WWII, suggesting a shift in understanding from power to vulnerability.
