Book ID/图书代码： 10953008B25187

English Summary/英文概要： World in Crisis is a new book from one of the world’s leading scholars. Gabriel Kolko provides a panoramic overview of the problems facing the US and the world today. Each chapter covers a key topic, spanning a range of international issues including the current financial crisis, the limits of US foreign policy, the politicisation of intelligence, and why a war with Iran would by likely to culminate in disaster for the US. Kolko also outlines why changes in military technology make all wars, no matter who fights them, increasingly futile.At the heart of the book is the idea that the international system is in the grip of a great transition. Kolko shows how America is losing its dominance, and examines the profound changes we are experiencing as it is forced to accept the limits of its military power.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本書探討全球面面觀，讀者應該對過去、正在發生或即將發的危機有進一步的了解認識美國是否還是引領世界的龍頭?
由過去經驗看來，美國政策不論在內政或是對世界各國的影響，其中所引發的問題例如: 次級房貸風暴引發的金融風暴、在伊拉克戰爭後所帶來的恐怖主義攻擊問題，不斷的使全球陷入危機之中。
社會經濟學家Gabriel Kolko給想要進一步了解美國的讀者提出相關的見解。為什麼美國資本主義的制度正面臨瓦解?且連帶的把部份國家一起拖下水、美國軍事武力發展的科技對全球的影響等等。作者於本書中以過去的歷史為借鏡探討美國，因為目前全球最引人關注的問題似乎都與美國扯上關係，美國的危機演變成為世界各國的政治、金融問題。身為知識份子、生活在地球村的每個人，我們的責任是要理解真相，並從中學習改善問題。(CL)
