4.0 out of 5 stars
Three-point-five, really, November 12, 2003
This review is from: Implicating Empire (Paperback)
Implicating Empire (IE) is another volume in a wave of high-brow globalization texts that has finally dared call out neo-con US foreign policy for what it truly is -- imperialism revisited. IE's synthesis of the economic, political, and military aspects of globalization impresses, but one most appreciates how its authors' (much-needed) enthusiasm and optimism shine through the pages. Unfortunately, IE is a thick academic work that will likely appeal almost exclusively to hardcore anti-gloabilization readers like myself, and for us the text doesn't cover much new ground. Though I wouldn't recommend IE to the casual poli-sci reader, it's a great choice for the dedicated reader who needs to go deeper than Paul Krugman or Michael Moore. Looks great on the shelf too, right next to your copy of No Logo.
