| Popis: | This paper offers a discussion of the recent state of affairs in the conduct of American foreign policy under George W. Bush in the light of both the neoconservative project of empire building and neoliberal globalization as a political project sustained by the successive American administrations from Reagan to Bush Jr. Its central argument is that the current US foreign policy is an attempt to reengineer its global relations with other great powers and in this context, its struggle with terrorism and “rogue” states represents just a transitional phase to achieve this strategic goal while this imperial project, with its unilateralism and power-based neoconservatism, necessitates Washington’s combining neoliberalism with the military and coercive means of empire building. It also claims however that this goal of establishing a new American empire has not yet replaced the pursuit of US hegemony based and justified ideologically upon neoliberalism and rather, the so-called emergent US empire seems an aberration and bound to fail. Though other powers are expected to rival it they have to overcome the question of their disputed challenging potentialities. |
