Imperialism in the Indo-Pacific—An Introduction

Abstract

John Bellamy Foster and Brett Clark introduce this summer's special issue on "Imperialism in the Indo-Pacific," exploring how the super-region came to be conceptualized among geopolitical strategists and its present-day role in U.S military strategy. "The United States," they write, "facing the demise of its global hegemonic imperialism, is not only preparing for a Third World War; it is actively provoking it."
