MONDAY OCTOBER 28th
NEW WAR ORDER: THE USA AND GLOBAL POWER
After 1989 neoliberalism declared ?the end of history'. After September 11
the USA decided that it would declare ?war on terrorism¹. Is this the
beginning of a new imperial order where might is good, resistance and
difference outlawed, and where does this leave the USA in global models of
political, economic and cultural power?

*    Ziauddin Sardar, co-author ?Why do People Hate America¹
*    Peter Gowan, author ?The Global Gamble: Washington¹s bid for World
Dominance¹ 
*    Robert Brenner, author of New Left Review Issue 229 ?The Economics of
Global Turbulence: A Special Report on the World Economy, 1950-98¹
