Dear all, I am a sociology graduate student at the University of California-Santa Cruz and I am teaching a course this summer on the history of world capitalism. I was wondering if any of you out there could recommend an elusive book hot off the presses on the following topic: contemporary imperialist rivalry between the U.S., Japan, and the EC, with references to such phenomena as the Gulf War, Helms-Burton, U.S. sanctions against "rogue states," trade and investment policy w/China, the formation of supra-national currency blocs, the expansion of NATO, disputes in the WTO, and so on. I've been looking for such a comprehensive and theoretically savvy source but haven't found it yet. Whatever help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Just e-mail me directly. Thanks much in advance, John Gulick Sociology Graduate Program UC-Santa Cruz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
