US Imperialism

This book offers a broad and deep examination of the dynamics of US

imperialism. Petras analyzes imperialism not only as economic domination,
showing that its impact in the world takes many forms, including cultural,
political and historical. He points to the disruptive effects it has on other
world regional economies and cultures. Capitalism and imperialism take
diverse forms but both are intimately tied to the projection of state power
in the service of capital—a strategy designed to advance the geopolitical and
economic interests of the US economic elite and ruling class—interests that
are equated with the ‘US national interest’.

James Petras is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Binghamton University.

He is the author of over sixty books on the dynamics of global power and
Latin American development. They include Power and Resistance: US Imperi-
alism in Latin America and Imperialism and Capitalism in the 21st Century.
‘James Petras has consistently demonstrated a profoundly detailed
understanding of the global economic and political power dynamics of
empire and crisis in our times. Staying true to form, Petras’ US Imperi-
alism: The Changing Dynamics of Global Power, is a brilliant contribution
to the literature that chronicles and analyzes the modus operandi of
empires or states that project their power through military and economic
means over weaker, poorer foreign countries to dominate their economy
and politics to buttress the economic interests of the ruling classes in the
empire. Academics, media commentators and political leaders who have
ignored the subject matter of US Imperialism, must take notice of its
scholarship and relevance in today’s world.’
—Dennis C. Canterbury, Department of Sociology,
Anthropology, Criminology and Social Work,
Eastern Connecticut State University, USA

‘James Petras is the undisputed foremost authority on the global and regio-
nal dynamics of US imperialism. This collection of his most recent essays on
the contemporary dynamics of US imperialism provides a treasure trove of
fascinating facts concerning the projection of state power by the United
States in the different macro-regions of the world system. The book is also
the most comprehensive study of US global economic and political power
in the era of the Obama and Trump administration of the US Empire.’
—Raúl Delgado Wise, Research Professor and Coordinator,
Development Studies PhD, Universidad
Autónoma de Zacatecas, Mexico

‘This collection of essays shows in very clear language and without academic
jargon that the foreign affairs of the United States, and the actual develop-
ment of countries in Latin America and elsewhere on the periphery of the
world system, both currently and in recent years best be understood
through the lens of imperialist theory. Petras is one of the world’s foremost
authorities on the subject, and the book is a must read for both the scholars
and students of international relations and world affairs.’
—Henry Veltmeyer, Professor Emeritus of International
Development Studies, Saint Mary’s
University, Canada

‘While focusing on America’s hegemonic project in the post-Cold era,

James Petras provides an incisive understanding of the complex relationship
between “military imperialism” and “economic imperialism”, which con-
stitutes the pillar of empire building. Global and regional perspectives are
presented focussing on regime change in Latin America, US–NATO wars
in the Middle East, the rise of Neo-fascism in Ukraine, US–NATO threats
directed against Russia, China and Washington’s Pivot to Asia. Petras also
analyses how imperialism triggers “colonialism at home” including the
demise of the welfare state, rising poverty and social inequality in America.
In all respects Petras’ US Imperialism is a carefully documented political
economy masterpiece.’
—Michel Chossudovsky, Professor Emeritus
of Economics, University of Ottawa, USA
Globalization, Crises, and Change
Series Editor
Professor Berch Berberoglu
University of Nevada, Reno, USA

Careful sociological analysis of the dynamics and contradictions of neoliberal

globalization is sorely needed in order to assess the social consequences of
this process on affected populations and develop appropriate responses to
overcome the current global economic, political, and social crises.
Volumes in the series will focus on three interrelated processes that are
the product of the latest phase of global capitalist development at the end of
the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first century:
1. The nature and dynamics of neoliberal globalization;
2. the worldwide contradictions and crises of neoliberal globalization;
3. the responses to neoliberal globalization with focus on social change and
transformation including popular social movements based on grassroots
people’s organizations, mass protests, rebellions, and revolution.
Taken together, these provide a comprehensive analysis of the nature,
contradictions, and transformation of globalization through its inner logic
that ultimately leads to the changes wrought by this process on a global
scale. The significance of this series is that it provides the opportunity to
examine this multifaceted phenomenon that has had (and continues to
have) a major impact on society and societal development in our time.
