Williams, in The Tragedy of American Diplomacy, developed an eco­ nomic interpretation arguing that the U.S. had an "Open Door Policy" which was instigated by the U.S. corporate elite with the guiding purpose of economic expansion (Williams). Efforts by other nations to constrain this goal were perceived by the policy establishment as a threat to the American system as a whole. The "tragedy" was that while espousing principles of "self-determination," the U.S. acted to create an interna­ It tional political economy in its own image, undermining many country's 10fcourse, the fact that many ofneoliberalism's opponents even today continue to use the word "socialism" in connection with these societies makes it considerably easier for national self-determination in the process. neoliberals to make their case in this way.

ROSENFELD THEAMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A number of friends and colleagues read earlier versions of this essay and suggested ways to improve it. 'While they are not responsible for any shortcomings still present, I am certain the final version is better for their efforts.

Alvin Rosenfeld Foiuwoiu Two popular national magazines have recently carried cover stories exploring "The New Face of Anti-Semitism" and "The New Anti- Semitism." One would think that a hatred as old and long-lasting as anti-Semitism could hardly be described as "new." Yet this protean virus has reared its head again, in its most recent incarnation, as a pattern of discourse that poses "merely" as criticism of Israel, but in reality propagates classic hatred and distrust of Jews.

  • Book Review 5 Book Review
    European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies Revista Europea de Estudios Latinoamericanos y del Caribe 108 (2019): July-December, book review 5 www.erlacs.org Book Review – The Class Struggle in Latin America: Making History Today, by James Petras & Henry Veltmeyer. Routledge, 2017. – Latin America in the Vortex of Social Change Development and Resistance Dynamics, by Henry Veltmeyer & James Petras. Routledge, 2019. The 2000s witnessed a tremendous surge for Latin America’s left-leaning social and political movements, initiated by the rise to power of Hugo Chávez in the Venezuelan presidential election of 1998. The books under review here address from a Marxist perspective the historical, political-economic, and political-sociological contexts of Latin America’s development and leftism. The Class Struggle in Latin America (CSLA) scrutinizes the changing dynamics of class struggle against the background of the rise and demise of neoliberalism in Latin America. According to James Petras and Henry Veltmeyer, the changing dynamics of Latin America’s class struggle are largely contingent on the shift of the locus of class struggle from land and labour to dispersed communities representing indigenous people, adding to the increasing prominence of precarious, unemployed, and informal workers. Neoliberalism was also accompanied by the ascendancy of extractive capital and China as catalysts for the primary commodities boom of the 2000s. In explaining the negative socioeconomic and ecological impacts of rising extractivism (or excessive dependency on extractive capital), Petras and Veltmeyer refer to David Harvey’s notion of accumulation by dispossession, understood as a process by which popular sectors are forced to abandon their communities.

On 31 October 2005, The Guardian published an interview with Noam Chomsky, prophet of coffee- table anti-imperialism and verbal conjuror extraordinaire, carried out by the journalist Emma Brockes, which was highly embarrassing to him. The interview exposed him as having revisionist views in relation to the Srebrenica massacre, which he described as ‘probably overstated’ and which he has minimised at various times and in various ways.

  • From Brexit and Trump to Le Pen
    From ,re-it and Trump to .e Pen The systematic effort of the Transnational .lite to crush the /0re1it revolution23 From 0re1it and Trump to 4e Pen TADIS FOTOPOB4OS (05.05.2017) Abstract3 It is shown that the 0re1it revolution of the victims of globali-ation against the Transnational .lite, which began with the 0re1it referendum in 2016 and continued with the BS and the French presidential elections, shows presently signs of decline, following the frontal attac) of the elites against it. There are strong indications that the 0re1it revolution in BD may be being derailed, whereas the corresponding revolution in BSA is being betrayed and in France the coronation of a faithful member of the same elites, as the new President of the Republic, loo)s almost certain. It is argued that only the self organi-ation of the victims of globali-ation in the form of Popular Fronts for National and Social 4iberation could create the conditions to overcome the new, and worse ever, Ciddle Ages that the present NWO of neoliberal globali-ation has heralded. There is no doubt anymore that a frontal attac) has been launched by the entire Transnational .lite 1 against the è0re1it revolutionê, i.e. the phenomenal insurrection of the victims of neoliberal globali-ation against the elites, which began in 0ritain last year and quic)ly spread all over the world, first to BSA and then to France and beyond. Aowever, it is now clear that the systematic attempt to derail the 0re1it revolution in BD, as well as Trump2s reversal of almost all his pre election promises to the American victims of globali-ation within the first 100 days in office, and, finally, the present looming disaster in the French Presidential elections with the almost inevitable coronation of the candidate of the Transnational .lite, the e1 Rothschild ban)er Cacron, are all parts of the same pu--le.

  • HI 2108 Reading List
    For students of HI 2106 – Themes in modern American history and HI 2018 – American History: A survey READING LISTS General Reading: 1607-1991 Single or two-volume overviews of American history are big business in the American academic world. They are generally reliable, careful and bland. An exception is Bernard Bailyn et al, The Great Republic: a history of the American people which brings together thoughtful and provocative essays from some of America’s top historians, for example David Herbert Donald and Gordon Wood. This two-volume set is recommended for purchase (and it will shortly be available in the library). Other useful works are George Tindall, America: a Narrative History, Eric Foner, Give me Liberty and P.S. Boyer et al, The Enduring Vision all of which are comprehensive, accessible up to date and contain very valuable bibliographies. Among the more acceptable shorter alternatives are M.A. Jones, The Limits of Liberty and Carl Degler, Out of our Past. Hugh Brogan, The Penguin history of the United States is entertaining and mildly idiosyncratic. A recent highly provocative single- volume interpretative essay on American history which places war at the centre of the nation’s development is Fred Anderson and Andrew Cayton, The Dominion of War: Empire and Liberty in North America, 1500-2000 All of the above are available in paperback and one should be purchased. Anthologies of major articles or extracts from important books are also a big commercial enterprise in U.S. publishing. By far the most useful and up-to-date is the series Major problems in American History published by D.C.

    Still On The Clock A democratic peace theory review on the US and Venezuela conflicts between 2001-2007 Christopher James William Gharib Latin American Studies Bachelor course Stockholm University - Autumn 2017 Supervisor: Edgar Zavala Pelayo Still On The Clock A democratic peace theory review on the US and Venezuela conflicts between 2001-2007 Christopher James William Gharib Abstract This dissertation, by using the case of tensions between the United States and Venezuela between 2001-2007, examines Rummel’s hypothesis that democratic countries are inherently peaceful, and investigates whether the tensions in US-Venezuela relations under president George W Bush and president Hugo Chavez confirms or rejects Rummel’s hypothesis. A review of relevant documents, reports by non-governmental organizations and previous research in the field of international relations lead us to the conclusion that while the strained relationship between the US and Venezuela did reach a stage of coercive diplomacy, as defined by Jakobsen, the threats between the two countries did not escalate towards military aggression, and therefore Rummel’s hypothesis is confirmed.

  • Behind Janus: Documents Reveal Decade-Long Plot to Kill Public-Sector Unions
    Behind Janus: Documents Reveal Decade-Long Plot to Kill Public-Sector Unions The Supreme Court case Janus v. AFSCME is poised to decimate public-sector unions—and it’s been made possible by a network of right-wing billionaires, think tanks and corporations. MARY BOTTARI FEBRUARY 22, 2018 | MARCH ISSUE In These Times THE ROMAN GOD JANUS WAS KNOWN FOR HAVING TWO FACES. It is a fitting name for the U.S. Supreme Court case scheduled for oral arguments February 26, Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Council 31, that could deal a devastating blow to public-sector unions and workers nationwide. In the past decade, a small group of people working for deep-pocketed corporate interests, conservative think tanks and right-wing foundations have bankrolled a series of lawsuits to end what they call “forced unionization.” They say they fight in the name of “free speech,” “worker rights” and “workplace freedom.” In briefs before the court, they present their public face: carefully selected and appealing plaintiffs like Illinois child-support worker Mark Janus and California schoolteacher Rebecca Friedrichs. The language they use is relentlessly pro-worker. Behind closed doors, a different face is revealed. Those same people cheer “defunding” and “bankrupting” unions to deal a “mortal blow” to progressive politics in America. A key director of this charade is the State Policy Network (SPN), whose game plan is revealed in a union-busting toolkit uncovered by the Center for Media and Democracy. The first rule of the national network of right-wing think tanks that are pushing to dismantle unions? “Rule #1: Be pro-worker, not anti-union.
