More copies of this ISBN:Challenging Empire: How People, Governments, and the UN Defy US Powerby Phyllis Bennis
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The rise of U.S. unilateralism, the doctrine of preemptive war, particularly in the Middle East, and the challenge of reclaiming the UN's role in the global peace movement. Book News Annotation:Taking a worldwide and practical approach in agreement with the
statement by the New York Times that global popular opinion is the
"second superpower," Bennis (Institute for Policy Studies) describes
the possibility of "reclaiming" the United Nations as part of an
international peace movement as well as the activities and intentions
behind the worldwide protest against the Iraq war in 2003. Highly
opinionated and firmly in opposition to the latest Bush
administration, Bennis describes how individuals, organizations,
social movements and states maintained an eight-month period of
resistance to the war in Iraq despite the best efforts of the US,
focusing on resistance to the military, diplomatic and political
elements of empire. She encourages the UN to follow its own charter
more closely and seek to save the world from wars, particularly wars
of empire.
