Great Again? Manlio Graziano Publishes Book on the Geopolitics of the US from the Founding Fathers to Donald Trump |
Friday, 15 June 2018 |
Manlio Graziano’s study concludes on a relative decline of the US hegemony, questioning the validity of President Trump’s 'great again' rhetoric. He writes: "Today, a shift in the relative strength of the poles is combining with the emergence of new poles: the lines of force are shifting and the field of international relations is changing at an extraordinarily rapid pace. The American ruling class still seems unable to measure the phenomena that will lead to the end of its global hegemony, and another “lost decade” looms on the horizon. To try to soften the inevitable consequences, they need to put aside the ideological mythologies of American Exceptionalism, to forget about being 'great again', and to practice more geopolitics instead." Professor Graziano specializes in geopolitics and geopolitics of religion. He has authored several books on various geopolitical issues, including In Rome We Trust. The Rise of Catholics in American Political Life (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2017), Holy Wars and Holy Alliance. The Return of Religion to the Global Political Stage (New York: Columbia University Press, 2017), and What is a Border (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2018). He is currently working on his next book on the relevance of geopolitics as a tool to understand the world. |
