The War and the West
A Tale of Two Collapses: The Twin Declines of the Christian Faith and the Traditional Family
One of the most extraordinary stories in the long history of religion is now unfolding in our own time and before our own eyes: the precipitous decline of the Christian faith in its ancient heartland, the West, over the past half-century. This decline is most obvious in Europe, where it has reached the point of being an actual collapse, but in the past decade there has been considerable evidence that a sharp decline has begun in the United States…

Religion and Globalization
There are three paradigms regarding the role of religion in the globalization process: the modernist, the post-modernist, and the pre-modernist. In the past two decades, secularization has been accelerated and accentuated by globalization. The United States has promoted globalization and the American Creed of individualism. Expressive individualism—with its contempt for and protest against all hierarchies, communities, traditions, and customs—rep…

The political consequences of the product cycle: Industrial History and Political Outcomes
What explains the continuing stagnation in the industrial economies of the West? What will be the impact of such stagnation upon domestic politics and upon international relations? Are there domestic and foreign policies which the state can undertake to bring about a return to sustained economic prosperity and a recapitulation of that lost golden age of 1948-1973? These are now the central questions for scholars in the emerging field of internati…
Imperial Ends: The Decay, Collapse, and Revival of Empires
The Pacific Basin versus the Atlantic Alliance: Two Paradigms of International Relations
For many years, the study of international economy and international security, two fields of international relations, has been based respectively upon the two concepts of international liberalism and extended deterrence. Both concepts developed out of the conditions of the Atlantic/European arena after World War II; together they form the Atlantic Alliance paradigm. This paradigm poorly fits the Pacific/Asian world. In regard to the international…

Refugees: America Must Do More
hen Saigon fell to the Communist forces from North Vietnam in 1975, approximately 200,000 refugees, most of them Vietnamese supporters of the American-backed South Vietnamese government, fled from their homes. The Ford administration believed that the United States had a special obligation to these desperate people, and so more than half of them were quickly admitted to the United States for permanent resettlement. Because the war in Indochina ha…

El verdadero choque
James Kurth caracteriza la relaciones internacionales contemporáneas después de debatir la tesis de Samuel Huntington plasmada en El choque de las civilizaciones. Para Kurth, no es el enfrentamiento de Occidente con el resto del mundo lo que debe considerarse, sino que son las contradicciones en el interior mismo de Occidente las que deben estudiar los analistas preocupados por definir los rasgos del mundo de finales de siglo y de milenio
