This book examines the relationship between US hegemony and contemporary globalisation. Many introductory textbooks on globalisation tend to be simplistic and conservative. This book moves things forward,providing a critical review of the globalisation debate. Kiely reveals the weaknesses of globalisation theory,and argues that we can only approach a proper understanding of the contemporary world order by linking globalisation to debates on capitalism,imperialism,neo-liberalism and universal human rights. He explores US hegemony in the light of these issues,showing how 'liberal internationalism' cannot be separated from capitalism,neo-liberalism and US empire-building.Perfect for students of globalisation and international studies,the book covers the following issues: theories of globalisation and the relationship between capitalism,neo-liberalism and globalisation; the question of state sovereignty,institutions of global governance, liberal internationalism, cosmopolitanism, realism, imperialism. September 11th, the Bush II administration and the war in Iraq; Bretton Woods,development,neo-Keynesian and neo-liberal capitalism,capital flows,debt,US hegemony and global finance,and global poverty and inequality; cultural imperialism,Americanisation,universal human rights,democracy and freedom,and cultural standardisation; and contemporary globalisation,US imperialism,and the question of progressive alternatives to .actually existing globalisation. «
