When Globalization Fails: The Rise and Fall of Pax Americana
IS GLOBALIZATION AN accidental RECIPE FOR warfare?
Taking this question as its start line, James Macdonald's while Globalization Fails bargains a wealthy, unique account of warfare, peace, and alternate within the 20th century—and a cautionary story for the twenty-first.
In the overdue 19th century, liberals exulted that the unfold of overseas trade could herald prosperity and peace. An period of financial interdependence, they believed, may render wars too high priced to salary. yet those desires have been dashed by way of the carnage of 1914–1918. looking the security of financial self-sufficiency, international locations grew to become first to protectionism after which to territorial growth within the 1930s—leading back to devastating clash. Following the second one global battle, the globalists attempted once again. With the communist bloc disconnected from the worldwide economic system, a brand new foreign order used to be created, buttressing unfastened exchange with the casual supremacy of the us. yet this benign interval is coming to an finish.
According to Macdonald, the worldwide trade in items is a combined blessing. It makes countries wealthier, but in addition extra weak. And whereas financial interdependence pushes towards cooperation, the ensuing feel of financial lack of confidence pulls within the contrary direction—toward repeated clash. In Macdonald's telling, the 1st international War's naval blockades have been as vital as its trenches, and the second one global conflict might be understood as an inevitable fight for important uncooked fabrics in a global that had rejected unfastened alternate. this present day China's financial and armed forces enlargement is undermining the Pax Americana that had stored financial insecurities at bay, threatening to resurrect the aggressive multipolar international of the early 20th century with all its attendant hazards.

Sample text
How a very small number become jihadists. How some return home to their countries of origin and live off their Swedish pensions in Afghanistan, Lebanon or Iraq. How a lot live off benefits. There is another book to be written, for sure, about Scandinavia from the immigrants’ perspective. What is clear is their large numbers mean these immigrants do not assimilate in the way earlier generations of immigrants do. Sweden, a small once homogenous country, is more and more rapidly changing into a country with an ever larger number of foreign enclaves.
Today, as academics like Jonathan Friedman argue, they don’t feel like Swedes, but citizens of the globe, with responsibilities not the Swedish public but to the planet. Sweden’s education system indoctrinates against all forms of nationalism; there seems to be a failure to understand, judging by contributions to the debate, the importance of the nation state as the institutional guarantor of freedom and prosperity, even of the elites. There is a lack of a feedback system too: Stockholm, in contrast to London, is an extremely segregated city.
The emphasis in the photos was on vulnerability, youth, sensitivity. These were not men fleeing from war zones. Soldiers, men who must take responsibility for their actions. They were poor, huddled, frozen little boy-men, looking for a home. I say this is shamelessly meant to appeal to the politically powerful but dare I say it naïve Swedish female collectivity. It is, to anyone versed in current affairs, an exhibit breath-taking in its naiveté, or perhaps breath-taking in its cynicism, on the assumption of the white people’s naiveté.
