This book provides a comparative analysis of 30 American interventions into Third World countries. An historical approach is used to place the featured cases into a more general history of American Diplomacy. The author uses his assessments to prove that U.S. foreign policy has been driven by the goal of being the ultimate power in the global capitalist economic system.

Produktbeschreibung
This book provides a comparative analysis of 30 American interventions into Third World countries. An historical approach is used to place the featured cases into a more general history of American Diplomacy. The author uses his assessments to prove that U.S. foreign policy has been driven by the goal of being the ultimate power in the global capitalist economic system. The author makes his work unique by giving a critical view of America's place in the world during an anticipated time of war and raised patriotism. He provides a scholarly look at U.S. diplomacy leading up to the era of the War on Terror. Sullivan explains how over the past 50 years the U.S. has come to succeed Europe as ruler of the global economic system. The political systems which have been promoted by the U.S. to preserve worldwide capitalism range from one-party rule to monarchies and recurring civil war. The interventions discussed have proved to be short-term successes for U.S. policy, but more often tragic for the local societies affected. Sullivan draws on his 1996 release Comparing State Polities to create a number of tables that place U.S. involvement into geographic and hierarchic perspective. The reader is ultimately provided with a provocative thesis that challenges traditional interpretations of America's role in the world. This book will be an asset to any undergraduate college student taking classes in political science or history. It will also appeal to a general audience.

Autorenporträt
Buy my book. Haha.I'm not kidding, but I suppose I should say a bit more. My first published work is a memoir that describes the journey I've been on and will give any reader an inkling into whether or not they can trust me with words.My accolades, as shared in Building Bridges: Can We Love & Relate in a Polarized World?, include rehab, jail, anger management therapy, and bankruptcy. Top that!I also have a few degrees and failed out of seminary, but ... ladies and gentlemen, no one can tell a better story than I can (possibly my wife, but only in her native language). I can talk or write about ANYTHING. Try me. Call me up and ask for a rundown on the coup d'état in Nigeria, Türkiye, or Thailand-I've got you covered. Want to know about smart contracts with blockchain technology? No problem. Paris Hilton's jail time? No sweat.I was born in a small town in eastern Pennsylvania to a German Lutheran mother with family roots in the KKK (chasing down the Irish) and an Irish Catholic father who turned to Evangelicalism in college.They became missionaries and took my sister and me halfway around the world to Thailand when I was seven, where I spent my formative years.After failing out of college the first time, I joined the Navy and spent 12 years supporting U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. After leaving the Navy in 2011, I joined my wife and our four kids in the Philippines. My wife was a widow with three children when we met (no spoilers-buy my book!!!), and together we faced financial hell. I pulled us out by working in Korea, learning from the best and brightest at the fifth-largest auto manufacturer in the world. We ran an English boot camp for them, and they taught me a few things in return.Want to know more? Read my book. Discover the life-changing events that happened in Türkiye after Korea, and the transformation forged in the fire that now gives me the authority to teach others about building bridges and loving & relating to people around the world.
