About this book
This book investigates the geopolitics and strategic dimensions of US-American foreign policy during George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's presidential terms. Based on a vast amount of empirical and historical sources, the author offers deep insights into the recent political developments ('Arabellions') along the axis of Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, situating them in the context of the global geopolitical and geo-economical Great Game, either latent or overt, between USA/NATO and Russia. The author also analyses the influence of the US on these historical and political processes in the last two decades.
About the author
Prof. Dr. Luiz Alberto de Vianna Moniz Bandeira, Baron de São Marcos, is graduated in juridical sciences, and also holds a Ph.D. in political science from the University of São Paulo. He was professor at the Escola de Sociologia e Política de São Paulo. In 1976, he received grants from, among other institutions, the Ford Foundation, to conduct research in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay on Brazil's historical role in the Río de la Plata Basin. From 1977 through 1979, he extended this research project to the United States and Europe, thanks to a post-doctoral fellowship awarded by the Social Science Research Council and the Joint Committee on Latin America Studies of the American Council of Learned Societies in New York. He held the Chair of History of Brazilian Foreign Policy in the Department of History at the University of Brasília. He was awarded the Juca Pato Prize and named as Brazilian Intellectual of 2005 for the book Formação do Império Americano (Da Guerra contra a Espanha à Guerra no Iraque). He was subsequently awarded an honorary doctorate by UniBrasil in Curitiba and by Federal University of Bahia. Bandeira has been invited to lecture in many countries around the world. He was an Under-Secretary in Rio de Janeiro’s State Government, being its representative in the federal capital, Brasília from 1991 through 1994 and a cultural attaché at the Consulate-General of Brazil in Frankfurt am Main from 1996 through 2002.
Luiz Alberto de Vianna Bandeira has been awarded the Cross of Merit by Germany and the Gran-Cross of Baron of Rio Branco, by Brasil.
