This book explores America’s decline as a global power, arguing that the implosion of Pax Americana was initiated by the process of globalization, preceding the collapse of the Soviet Union by nearly a decade. The era of Pax Americana, and with it American hegemony, is conclusively passed, and will not return in current global conditions. There is a stark contrast between the present epoch and the postwar era of American hegemony (1945–1979) in which the United States, at least outside of the Soviet sphere of influence, largely managed the international economy and reigned over international politics and relations. Drawing on both theoretical and empirical evidence, this book shows that the era of globalization unleashed forces—social, political, and economic—which broke down the status quo of American hegemony. Author Cyrus Bina also establishes that since the Iranian Revolution (1979), US involvement throughout the Middle East, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and now notably in Ukraine has been motivated by the freefall of American hegemony and an attempt to get it back by direct or indirect military force. Bina utilizes these contexts for wider analysis and critique of a number of theories commonly used to analyze economy, polity, geopolitical, and dynamics of crisis and social change in capitalism. This book will be of great interest to students, academics, and policymakers on subjects of Economics, International Relations, Global Studies, International Political Economy, Political Geography, Sociology, and postwar History.

The Political Economy of the American Fall

Globalization and the Decline of American Power

The history of policymaking has been dominated by two rival assumptions about markets. Those who have advocated Keynesian-type policies have generally based their arguments on the claim that markets are imperfectly competitive. On the other hand laissez faire advocates have argued the opposite by claiming that in fact free market policies will eliminate "market imperfections" and reinvigorate perfect competition. The goal of this book is to enter into this important debate by raising critical questions about the nature of market competition in both the neoclassical and Kaleckian traditions By drawing on the insights of the classical political economists, Schumpeter, Hayek, the Oxford Economists' Research Group (OERG) and others, the authors in this book challenge this perfect versus imperfect competition dichotomy in both theoretical and empirical terms. There are important differences between the theoretical perspectives of several authors in the broad alternative theoretical tradition defined by this book; nevertheless, a unifying theme throughout this volume is that competition is conceptualized as a dynamic disequilibrium process rather than the static equilibrium state of conventional theory. For many of the authors the growth of the firm is consistent with a heightened degree of competitiveness, as the classical economists and Schumpeter emphasized, and not a lowered one as in the conventional 'monopoly capital' and imperfect competition perspectives.

Farhang Morady,

Kriz ve kalkınmanın, tarihsel bir yaklaşımla ve ekonomi politikalarındaki değişim süreci ile birlikte ele alınması ve analiz edilmesi hem krizi anlamak, hem de ekonomik sistemin yeniden üretim mekanizmalarını kavramak için gerekli görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda kitap, yaşanan kriz, istikrar, kalkınma ve büyüme süreçlerinin dinamiklerini çözümlemeye yönelmiş ve bu dinamikler bankacılıktan sanayiye, teknoloji kullanımından esnek emek örgütlenmesine, ihracata yönelik büyüme stratejilerinden iktisadi bağımlılık ilişkilerine kadar uzanmaktadır. Sürecin, gerek akademik / kuramsal, gerekse siyasal / hegemonik / ideolojik düzeylerde değerlendirilmesi kitapta yer alan çalışmaların seçiminde öncelikle yer almıştır.
