"As Europe rebuilt after the devastation of the Second World War, the former colonies
of the major imperial powers sought their independence at the same time that the United
States extended its economic and political power globally. In Turbulent Empires Mike
Mason analyzes the struggles for post-colonial sovereignty and economic domination
and how these competing forces led to conflicts and shifting alliances around the
postwar world. Turbulent Empires surveys the major polities and economies of the Africa,
Asia, Latin America, Russia, and the West and traces the trajectory of nationalist
ruling classes bent on exercising sovereign control over economic resources. It emphasizes
the convulsions that brought about unanticipated realignments and shocking reversals,
such as the rise and fall of regimes, continuous interventions in the Muslim world,
the sudden collapse of the commodities supercycle, and the continuing challenge of
inequality. By the second decade of the twenty-first century, the global economic
crisis of 2008 raised the question of a new global order while the question of American
decline, captured in the slogan "Make America Great Again," became commonplace. Both
erudite and accessibly written, Turbulent Empires provides an insightful and sweeping
analysis of world political and economic history that is an ideal introduction to
postwar political science, history, and development studies."
