The Non-aligned, the UN, and the Superpowers
Author: Richard L. Jackson
Publisher: Greenwood
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Based on his experience as a diplomat and as political advisor to the U.S. mission to the United Nations, Jackson traces the history and development of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), and shows it to be a Third World interest group with a fundamental impact on the structure and agenda of the United Nations. As such he views its mistrust of the West as stemming from an anti-colonial bias rather than from an inherent disposition to either East or West. He argues that the survival of the NAM in its present anti-Western mode can only be viewed as a failure of U.S. policy over the last two decades. He believes that U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations would increase global instability and supports ending direct attacks on the NAM. ISBN 0-03-062561-0 (pbk.) : $29.95.

Unrivaled
Author: Michael Beckley
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501724800
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
The United States has been the world's dominant power for more than a century. Now many analysts believe that other countries are rising and the United States is in decline. Is the unipolar moment over? Is America finished as a superpower? In this book, Michael Beckley argues that the United States has unique advantages over other nations that, if used wisely, will allow it to remain the world's sole superpower throughout this century. We are not living in a transitional, post-Cold War era. Instead, we are in the midst of what he calls the unipolar era—a period as singular and important as any epoch in modern history. This era, Beckley contends, will endure because the US has a much larger economic and military lead over its closest rival, China, than most people think and the best prospects of any nation to amass wealth and power in the decades ahead. Deeply researched and brilliantly argued, this book covers hundreds of years of great power politics and develops new methods for measuring power and predicting the rise and fall of nations. By documenting long-term trends in the global balance of power and explaining their implications for world politics, the book provides guidance for policymakers, businesspeople, and scholars alike.

The Superpowers and Africa
Author: Zaki Laïdi
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226467818
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
That Africa--one of the superpowers' crucial diplomatic and economic battlegrounds--now verges on political developments as dramatic as those of eastern Europe compels us to consider the tremendous influence that East and West have wielded in recent African political development. Drawing from American diplomatic archives, firsthand interviews, and the African and international press, Zaki Laidï presents a historical analysis of how the dialectical relationships of the United States, Soviet Union, and African actors evolved to their present state. The lapse of European influence in the 1960s left a diplomatic void, which the superpowers rushed to fill. Just as Dien Bien Phû and the Suez crisis thrust Asia and the Near East, respectively, into the diplomatic spotlight, so the Angolan crisis lent a multifaceted cast to Africa's international relations. The ebb and flow of African crises is now linked to the rhythm of superpower relations, but Laidï is quick to warn that Africa's internal political circumstances shape the boundaries for external influence and constrain any efforts of the superpowers to exert total control. Laidï's provocative study, here in its first English translation, addresses diplomatic strategy, often neglected economic considerations, the growing influence of the Bretton Woods institutions, and the decline of French influence in Africa.
