"History on an epic scale-sweeping, provocative, and unsparing in
its judgment." -Andrew Bacevich, author of After the Apocalypse:
America's Role in a World Transformed An immensely readable
history, To Govern the Globe narrates the rising empires and fading
world orders of the last seven centuries, from the Iberian Age to
the British Empire to the post-World War II American era. As
historian Alfred McCoy explains, each world order has been defined
by shifting principles of sovereignty, debates over human rights,
and the quest for profitable forms of energy. Today as the US world
order, with its voracious consumption of fossil fuels, faces
mounting crises, McCoy shows how past patterns of energy use will
trouble the planet for the rest of this century and beyond. This
paperback edition has a new preface by the author.
