  • Cles Over the Past Few Years Is That the Subject of Imperialism Is No Longer a Bailiwick of the Left
    0 N E o F T H E c u R I o u s D E v E L o P M E N T s in intellectual cir- cles over the past few years is that the subject of imperialism is no longer a bailiwick of the Left. To be sure, so long as colonial empires were in strength, there was no denying the reality of European and American imperial expansion. But over the course of the post-war era, as decoloniza- tion rippled through the Third World and the formal mechanisms of colo- nial control were thrown overboard, any insistence on the continuing salience of imperialism became identified with left-wing ideologies. If it did enter mainstream debates, it was inevitably Soviet or, more generically, Communist imperial ambitions that were subjected to scrutiny. The Presidency of Bush the Younger seems to have put an end to that. Serious discussion of imperialism - not generally, but as an American phenomenon - has suddenly acquired intellectual respectability. Analyses of the "new imperialism" are now flowing out in a steady stream of books, and in organs and magazines associated with both ends of the political spectrum. And there is an unmistakable sense of urgency in the debates. It was clear in the years after 1989 that the United States was searching for a way to maintain its sway over Europe and the South - a condition that couldn't be taken for granted once the specter of the Soviet threat had passed from the scene. Under Clinton, however, the strategy did not exhibit the martial and messianic posturing of the Bush team.

    BRIEFING BOOK: AFGHANISTAN In the midst of the deadliest month ever for NATO forces in Afghanistan, should we pull our troops out? Does our presence there help or hurt our interests in Pakistan? Watch to find out the strikingly different views of two experts. WATCH HERE David Kilcullen David Kilcullen is a counterinsurgency and counterterrorism expert working with the US State Department. He is also an advisor to the UK, Australia, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and several private sector institutions, on counter- terrorism and counter-insurgency issues which he has written extensively on.
