University and Peter Hardstaff, Head of Policy at the World Development
Movement open the September Signs of the Times seminar.

MONDAY OCTOBER 28
New War Order: The USA and Global Power
After 1989 neoliberalism declared 'the end of history'. After September 11
the USA decided that it would declare 'war on terrorism'. Is this the
beginning of a new imperial order where might is good and resistance and
difference are outlawed? Where does this leave the USA in global models of
political, economic and cultural power? Ziauddin Sardar, co-author of 'Why
do People Hate America?' and Peter Gowan, author 'The Global Gamble:
Washington's bid for World Dominance' open the October Signs of the Times
seminar.
The Union Tavern,52 Lloyd Baker Street, London WC1 at 7.30pm. Free. For more
