Book Description:
If the 20th century was the American century, the 21st century may be a time of reckoning for the United States. Chalmers Johnson, an authority on Japan and its economy, offers a troubling prognosis of what's to come. Blowback the title refers to a CIA neologism describing the unintended consequences of American activity is a call for the United States to rethink its position in the world. 'The evidence is building up that in the decade following the end of the Cold War, the United States largely abandoned a reliance on diplomacy, economic aid, international law, and multilateral institutions in carrying out its foreign policies and resorted much of the time to bluster, military force, and financial manipulation,' writes Johnson. 'The world is not a safer place as a result.' Individual chapters focus on Okinawa (where American servicemen were accused of raping a 12 year old girl in 'Asia's last colony'), the two Koreas, China, and Japan. The result is a liberal leaning (and Asia centric) call for the United States to disengage from many of its global commitments. Unter den Ursachen f r den Zusammenbruch der UdSSR war nach Meinung des Autors die politische Instinktlosigkeit der sowjetischen Machthaber in hohem Ma e ausschlaggebend. Und da die USA sich hnlich brutal und egoistisch in die Politik ihrer Satellitenstaaten einmische, wird die einzig verbliebene Supermacht dasselbe Schicksal erleiden und untergehen. Der renommierte Professor f r politische Wissenschaften geht mit seinem Land hart ins Gericht: Amerikanische Politiker haben in den Zeiten des Kalten Krieges durch st mperhaftes, herrisches und inhumanes Verhalten in S dostasien, den arabischen und mittelamerikanischen Staaten, in Chile wie in afrikanischen L ndern so viel Vertrauen verspielt, dass der globale Einfluss der Vereinigten Staaten stetig abnimmt
