Peter Gowan, "Triumphing toward International Disaster: The Impasse in American Grand Strategy" Critical Asian Studies
Peter Gowan, "Crisis in the Heartland" New Left Review
Peter Gowan, a major intellectual force on the Left, died on June 12. Several months ago on ATG, Gowan talked about the postwar internationalist capitalist order fashioned by the US. That order, Gowan argued, has been in crisis for many years. What happened to US primacy, and why? In what ways has the US tried to restore its hegemony, and what obstacles has it encountered? Gowan talked about the evolving relationships among advanced capitalist nations.
