What is particularly original about these essays-and unusually rare in studies of American foreign policy-is their provocative combination of cultural and literary analysis with a subtle appreciation of the historical transformation of political forms and principles of world order." Stephen Gill! author of Power and Resistance in the New World Order Zusammenfassung The attempt by the George W Bush administration to reshape world order after September 11, 2001, appears to have resulted in a catastrophic "misshaping" of geopolitics in the wake of bungled campaigns in the Middle East and their many reverberations worldwide? This title explores the role of culture in this process of geopolitical transformation.
