What role does, can, or should the state play in our contemporary era of globalization? 2. What is the relationship between governance and government in the international economic system? Are you satisfied with the current relationship? Make sure to draw upon arguments and evidence presented by the authors who have dealt with this relationship. 3. Is the United States currently an imperial power? Explain the viewpoints of the various authors who have addressed this issue as you build support for your own position on this issue. Of the articles in the politics of globalization, Liberal Hegemony or Empire? By G John Ikenberry makes the most sensible argument. Ikeenberry agrees that America is by far the most influential state, but this dies not designate it as an empire. The U.S. is unlike any other hegemony because the other major powers in the world are working with the U.S. rather than against it. Ikenberry says that hegemonic aspirants such as Charles V, Louis XVI, Napoleon I, and postBismark Germany were brought down by the coalition of states that were determined to rebalance the distribution of power. Even deep rivals such as Russia and China have joined the U.S. with alliances, the fight on terrorism, and engagement with North Korea. It could be said tht the U.S.is trying to set up a global governance in their image, The UN, IMF, World Bank, NATO, GATT, and other institutions that emerged provided the most rule-based structure for political and economic regulation in history. Although many of the arguments in Michael Manns article Incoherent Empire are farfetched, the analogy for the U.S. being The Economic Back-Seat Driver is excellent. With the multilateral world the U.S. is only one of three roughly equal economic blocks, level with the European Union, somewhat ahead of Japan/East Asia. America is a Back-Seat Driver because it can only push the markets and social norms with its power and governance organizations, not actually sear it like an empire could. Other authors have either been slightly askew in their labeling of the U.S. as an empire or completely offline. Niall Ferguson Does label The U.S. as an empire but a peculiar kind of empire. The U.S. struggles to impose its will beyond its shores. Yet, is being able to dominate foreign countries the basis of what an empire is? Ferguson simply seems to have a misunderstanding of an empire. An Empire is more than the greatest political, social, and economic player; it is the country that sets the rules and standards for the rest of le world, and the U.S. is not that. The argument of Mary Kaldor in Beyond Militarism, Arms Races, And Arms Control is superior to that of Chalmers Johnson in The Sorrows of Empire. Johnson argues that because the U.S. has 725 military bases around the world and that it incites wars on terrorism that it is an empire. Because there has been a shift from The Department of State to The Department of Defence, America is an empire. As Kaldor points out, the U.S. having the largest military power has nothing to do with its imperialism in todays world of asymmetric warfare. With asymmetric warfare, and multilateral countries, it is improbable that the U.S. will be able to attain the power to become an empire in the true sense of the word.
