Hegemonija ili opstanak: Američke težnje za globalnom dominacijom

Hegemonija ili opstanak: Američke težnje za globalnom dominacijom

Noam Chomsky

It is by far the author's most current and comprehensive work in recent years. Reflecting the decisive and clear position of one of the most influential political thinkers in the world, the book will undoubtedly provoke wide and far-reaching debates.

For more than fifty years, the United States has pursued a grand imperial strategy aimed at global dominance. From the Cuban missile crisis to the wars in Iraq, our leaders have proven willing to pursue the dream of total supremacy, regardless of the cost. The Bush administration today accelerates the whole process, pushing us towards the extreme limits of imperial control, towards the choice between the privileges of power and a habitable Earth. In the book Hegemony or Survival, Noam Chomsky breaks down how we got to this point, what dangers we face, and why our rulers are willing to threaten the future of humanity. With impressive logic, which is his trademark, Chomsky dissects the American usurpation of the right to global supremacy, describing in detail the aggressive policy of the US government, which aims at "total dominance in the entire spectrum". At the same time, it vividly shows how the latest manifestations of the politics of global surveillance - from unilateralism and the unraveling of international agreements to state terrorism and the militarization of space - come together and unite within the framework of achieving hegemony, which ultimately threatens the very survival of our species. In our age, he claims, imperial policy is a sure recipe for general world devastation.
