Les �tats-Unis et le monde de 1898 � nos jours

This work presents the major facets of the United States' action in the World, since their beginning on the international stage in 1898, during the war with Spain, to their engagement in Iraq in March 2003. It reviews the different political movements that drive the players of the American foreign policy - statesmen and public opinion - from the moralism of Wilson to the realism of Nixon or Kissinger, and to the unilateralism of George W. Bush.
What is exactly the "American imperialism", so much condemned? What have been the role of the Dollar in the global economy? How could a form of cultural domination by the United States impose itself to the rest of the World? Can we speak about a Pax Americana? Sole superpower since 1991, have the United States given up on multilateralism to adopt an unilateral policy? Will the relationships with Europe be durably affected by this new policy?
The author broaches a decisive subject to understand the current events of our world and the dominant role that the United States play in it.
