Alfred McCoy: In the Shadows of the American Empire: The Rise and Decline of US Global Power

A presentation on Dec. 10, 2017 at The Community Church of Boston Alfred W. McCoy drew upon his new book “In the Shadows of the American Century,” to analyze the dynamics of the U.S. rise to global power, and the unique way Washington has exercised that global hegemony for the past 70 years, particularly the covert dimension. He then analyzed the geopolitical changes in the vast Eurasian land mass eroding US dominion, and the political manifestations of a US world order in crisis, including populism and hyper-nationalism. Alfred W. McCoy is the J.R.W. Smail Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is the author of “In the Shadows of the American Century” and “A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation, From the Cold War to the War on Terror”. McCoy has been recognized as “one of the world’s leading historians of Southeast Asia and an expert on Philippine political history, opium trafficking in the Golden Triangle, underworld crime syndicates, and international political surveillance.
