Description: Fear's Empire by Benjamin R. Barber "Fears Empire lays the foundation for a principled opposition based on Americas truest and best values."--Senator Gary Hart FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The author of Jihad vs. McWorld analyzes how American foreign policy has gone wrongand how it could go right. In this hard-hitting book, Benjamin R. Barberone of the worlds most inspiring voices on behalf of democratic citizenshipmarshals American political and diplomatic history to lambast the Bush administrations attempt to fight fear (of terrorism) with fear (of "preventive" war). Barber examines the controversial issues that underlie both the Cold War theory of containment and deterrence and the dilemmas faced by America today. He argues forcefully against unilateralism, nuclear deterrence, and reliance on military solutions. And he inveighs against the tendency of recent administrations to confuse the spread of McWorld that seductive blend of free-market ideology and American brandswith the spread of democracy. Barber argues for an America that promotes cooperation, multilateralism, international law, and pooled sovereignty. For as law and citizenship alone secure liberty within nations, law and citizenship alone can secure liberty among them, freeing them from fear. Author Biography Internationally renowned political theorist Benjamin R. Barber is the Kekst Professor of Civil Society at the University of Maryland and a Distinguished Senior Fellow at Demos in New York City, where he lives. Review ""Fears Empire is bracing for its clarity, humanity, large-mindedness, and common sense--and downright precious for its sound suggestions as to where we, as a nation, should be going."
