Its admirers and detractors alike claim the opposite: America is now in a position of unprecedented global supremacy. But in fact, Immanuel Wallerstein argues, a more nuanced evaluation of recent history reveals that America has been fading as a global power since the end of the Vietnam War, and its response to the terrorist attacks of 9\/11 looks certain to hasten that decline. In this provocative collection, the visionary originator of world-systems analysis and the most innovative social scientist of his generation turns a practiced analytical eye to the turbulent beginnings of the twenty-first century. Touching on globalization, Islam, racism, democracy, intellectuals, and the state of the left wing, Wallerstein upends conventional wisdom to produce a clear-eyed-and troubling-assessment of the crumbling international order.[Wallersteins thought] provides a new framework for the subject of European history . . . it is compelling, a new explanation, a new classification, indeed a revolutionary one, of received knowledge and current thought. -Fernand Braudel\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52191551488288,"sku":"NEW1565847997","price":14.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71fXNHzQWOL.jpg?v=1786833933","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-decline-of-american-power-the-us-in-a-chaotic-world-1565847997","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
