William H. Thornton is professor of literary and cultural theory at National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan.
Thornton’s moral realist stance, which brings culture and ethics to
bear on the ‘New World Empire’ phenomenon, is a bold challenge to
the foreign policy agendas of both Left and Right in the wake of
9/11. For those looking for an ethical alternative to recycled Cold
War strategies, this book will be a revelation.
*Raff Carmen, University of Manchester*
Thornton makes an important contribution to the debate surrounding
American foreign policy and is recommended, in particular for
people interested in international relations, global politics, and
the 'clash of civilizations'.
*Political Studies Review*
In eight well-documented chapters...New World Empire shows that
there are other ways of dealing with the Islamic world and the
roots of Islamic terrorism.
*Journal of Peace Research*
William Thornton's new study of international politics is
thoroughly documented, clearly argued, and consistently
challenging. A cogent and decisive insight into the New World Order
of Empire and its global struggle with terrorism.
