Global Superpower: U.S. Foreign Realtions since 1990
Sönke Kunkel
Comments
In 1992, political scientist Francis Fukuyama described the end of the Cold War as the “end of history,” and predicted the global triumph of democracy, free markets, and an US-led world order. Today, it is the conflict-ridden and tense developments of the 1990s that come to mind: the US wars in the Balkans and Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq or the failure of humanitarian (non-)interventions in Rwanda and Somalia. On the other hand, the 1990s were also the decade of the globalization of Nike, Air Jordan, Sim City, and hip-hop. In this seminar, we will examine how the US made the transition to a unipolar empire in the 1990s, how its foreign policy and self-image changed, and how ‘soft’ processes of cultural globalization accompanied and shaped this transition. close
