A quarter of a million U.S. troops are massed in over seven
hundred major official overseas airbases around the world. In the
past decade, the Pentagon has formulated and enacted a plan to
realign, or reconfigure, its bases in keeping with new doctrines of
pre-emption and intensified concern with strategic resource
control, all with seemingly little concern for the surrounding
geography and its inhabitants.
The contributors in The Bases of Empire trace the political,
environmental, and economic impact of these bases on their
surrounding communities across the globe, including Latin America,
Europe, and Asia, where opposition to the United States' presence
has been longstanding and widespread, and is growing rapidly.
Through sharp analysis and critique, The Bases of Empire
illuminates the vigorous campaigns to hold the United States
accountable for the damage its bases cause in allied countries as
well as in war zones, and offers ways to reorient security policies
in other, more humane, and truly secure directions.
