Summary: Editorial
Review: This book is a good anecdote and reality check for people who believe that a Socialist construction like the EU will prevail over a more freedom loving USA, or that various International Protocols and organisations will somehow force a diminution of national power and the elevation of UNO relevancy.
"The clash between U.S. hegemony and the E.U. and its attendant international organizational framework is really a `typical' clash, often seen in history, between differing views of socio-economic organization." writes Read.
How did this conflict arise and what are its possible consequences on the countries involved? In such a confrontation we have the classic battle pitting orthodox liberal freedoms against that of state managed socialism. Upon this confrontation and outcome resides the future of Western civilization.
This volume-realistic, impartial, intelligent-proves to be an important and relevant analysis of the political dynamics between the world's powerful countries. "America and Europe: Conflict and Power will challenge prevailing liberal media bias and force people to consider the proper structure of politics and economics in the context of freedom both domestically and internationally," says Read.
The Contents are detailed and include:
-Political and Economic Ideologies
-Modern concepts of Socialism and Statism
-Regionalism and Globalization
-International Economics
-Military Power
-The Political Economy of Europe vs. USA
-Islam
-The UNO, IMF, and WTO
-Kyoto
-Conflict between the US and EU models
-Internationalism vs. Nationalism
Written in a scholarly but accessible manner. Plenty of sources and footnotes. Well researched and written.
