This book examines how and why Americans built an informal trading
empire and why the British Empire needed to be removed before a Pax
Americana could be built. The Pax Americana is a phenomenon of
global significance, and this fascinating book, now available in
paperback, offers a systematic explanation for the rise of this
super empire and examines in detail how it is governed. A core
feature of the book is a concern with America's vision of the world
and how the USA has attempted (especially since 1945) to export
this vision across the globe. The book identifies and examines the
underlying discourses and belief systems that gave rise to a Pax
Americana. An eclectic range of methodologies and theories are
deployed to explain the phenomenon of this informal empire, ranging
from materialist (political economy) explanations of 'US
imperialism' through to those explanations grounded in the
non-materialist realm of values, ideas and world views. The result
is an exploration of the curious phenomenon of an
'anti-imperialist' empire with both 'economic' and 'moral' roots.
