How these urges interact with the way the country understands itself, and the nature of the divergent interests at work in the unfolding of American foreign policy, is a subject much debated and still obscure. In a fresh look at the topic, Anderson charts the intertwined historical development of America's imperial reach and its role as the general guarantor of capital. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe internal tensions that have arisen are traced from the closing stages of the Second World War through the Cold War to the War on Terror. Despite the defeat and elimination of the USSR, the planetary structures for warfare and surveillance have not been retracted but extended. Anderson ends with a survey of the repertoire of US grand strategy, as its leading thinkers--Brzezinski, Mead, Kagan, Fukuyama, Mandelbaum, Ikenberry, Art and others--grapple with the tasks and predicaments of the American imperium today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Perry Anderson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178168667X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781686676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.70w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/19\/2015 pg. 29","brand":"Perry Anderson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46136289198335,"sku":"9781781686676","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e135a01-60d4-4420-9f42-8bea60194049.jpg?v=1726416238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-foreign-policy-and-its-perry-anderson-9781781686676","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
