Victor Wallis, Democracy Denied
In this book, Victor Wallis develops a masterful, critical overview of United States history with a focus on democratic politics, or the lack of such politics. He argues persuasively that the widel
The Impasse of European Communism
The major Communist parties in Western Europe claim a commitment to a "democratic road to socialism." Often this is a genuine evolution of traditional Marxist/Leninist ideology based on the assumption that political and economic power can be obtained through gradual change rather than revolution and through the utilization of democratic processes. How well is this strategy working? Not very well, concludes the author of this book. Carl Boggs base…
Fascism Old and New
Deep historical trends suggest the United States could be moving toward a distinctly novel form of fascism, embracing elements of the historical phenomenon as it appeared in such countries as Italy, Germany, Japan, and Spain while departing in significant ways. A twenty-first century fascism would hardly be revolutionary or totalitarian, as it would involve no dramatic break with the past, following a logic of continuity and building on firmament…

The Hollywood War Machine
The newly expanded and revised edition of The Hollywood War Machine includes wide-ranging exploration of numerous popular military-themed films that have appeared in the close to a decade since the first edition was published. Within the Hollywood movie community, there has not been even the slightest decline in well-financed pictures focusing on warfare and closely-related motifs. The second edition includes a new chapter on recent popular films…
Tribute to Sheldon Wolin
The passing of Sheldon Wolin on 21 October 2015 at age 93 marks a farewell to one of the most preeminent intellectual figures the political science discipline has known. More than strictly a politi
Drugs, Power, and Politics
This book explores the increasingly broad terrain of drugs in American society with an emphasis on politics. It begins with the War on Drugs initiated by President Richard Nixon in the early 1970s and extends to the current day with the vast power of the pharmaceutical industry (Big Pharma), expansion of global criminal syndicates, militarization of the drug war, and struggles between states and federal government over the legalization of marijua…
Drugs, Power, and Politics
The Medicalized Society
This article develops the thesis that modern American society has become increasingly medicalized, reflected in the growth of a vast medical-pharmaceutical complex that is commodified, technocratic, and iatrogenic (creating more harm than good) as one function of modernity in the fields of health care, drugs, food, and agriculture. A focus of this treatment is the heavy reliance on drugs as medicalized forms of treatment for a wide variety of hea…
Empire Versus Democracy
In Empire Versus Democracy, Carl Boggs traces the authoritarian trajectory of American politics since World War II, with emphasis on the growing concentration of corporate and military power that has accompanied the United States assumption of leading superpower on the world scene. The rise of the U.S. as unchallenged imperial nation has meant the steady expansion of a permanent war economy and security state that, working in tandem with large bu…

Democracy, Free Markets, and Other Grand Illusions
At a moment when the Barack Obama presidency has raised popular hopes for democratic renewal and social change in the United States, it might be worth consulting deeper historical trends that point
The Imperial Warrior in Hollywood
The Bush years have witnessed the elevated militarization of American society, marked by expansion of the war economy and security state, an aggressive foreign policy, increasing incidents of civic violence, and a media culture saturated more than ever with images and narratives of violence. The trends we identified in our book, The Hollywood War Machine, have only deepened and show no signs of receding. The most successful and widely-viewed film…
Pearl Harbor
One of the epic moments in the American political experience, Pearl Harbor has been the subject of continuous historical analysis as well as cinematic documentation and representation—and remains a topic of debate to this day. As the event which triggered US entry into World War II, it fundamentally altered the way Americans came to view the global arena and the US place within it. Although Pearl Harbor at the time symbolized national defeat and …

Hollywood and the Spectacle of Terrorism
As terrorist actions, both state and non-state, have spread in both frequency and destructive power since the 1960s, the topic has become an enduring source of narratives, fantasies, and myths that have contributed to Hollywood filmmaking with its familiar emphasis on international intrigue, exotic settings, graphic violence, and the demonization of foreign threats. Images of political violence have a strong appeal in the US, where the gun cultur…

US Grand Strategy and its Contradictions
US global expansion at the beginning of the 21st century is far more ambitious than anything pursued or imagined by previous imperial powers. American elites are presently seeking to reshape the world geopolitical terrain, with hundreds of military bases in more than 120 countries added to hundreds more installations across its own territory. This new militarism is rooted in a new imperialism, part of a grand strategy that aspires to nothing shor…

Rethinking the Sixties Legacy
In contrast with the “total break” thesis characteristic of most New Left literature, which posits a collapse of 1960s radicalism in the period of 1968–70 and therefore a gulf separating it from the future, this essay argues for a continuity from the 1960s to the contemporary phase of new social movements and the appearance of political formations such as the Greens. The themes that permeated and galvanized the New Left — participatory democracy,…

The great retreat
Social Crisis and Political Decay
By the 1990s American society had become more depoliticized than at any time in recent history, with the vast majority of the population increasingly alienated from the political system. This has occurred, ironically, at a time when deepening social problems—environmental degradation, homelessness, eroding public services, civic violence, threats to privacy—require extensive and creative political intervention. Further, it has taken place during …
Postmodernism the Movie
Postmodern cinema, in its various expressions over the past three decades, represents a form of popular culture characteristic of the post-Fordist, globalized phase of capitalist development most visible in the United States. As a crucial dimension of media culture with its strong emphasis on new modes of technology, commodification, consumerism, and the society of the spectacle, filmmaking today celebrates increasingly diverse, experimental, and…
