Download or read book Incoherent Empire written by Michael Mann and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, noted sociologist Michael Mann argues that the "new American imperialism" is actually a new militarism. Dissecting the economic, political, military and ideological resources available to the US, Mann concludes that they are so uneven as to generate only an 'incoherent empire' and increasing world disorder. The US is a military giant, though it is better at devastating than pacifying countries. It is a political schizophrenic, its personality split between multilateralism, unilateralism and an actual inability to rule over foreign lands or to control its own supposed client states. It is only a backseat driver of the global economy. It cannot steer it, but it prods poorer countries toward an unproductive and unpopular neo-liberalism.

Book excerpt: Enacted in 2000 and set to expire in September 2015, the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is a trade preference program that seeks to promote economic development in 49 sub-Saharan African countries by allowing eligible countries to export qualifying goods to the U.S. without import duties. The act requires the U.S. government to conduct an annual eligibility review to assess each country's progress on economic, political, and development reform objectives in order to be eligible for AGOA benefits. AGOA also requires an annual forum to foster closer economic ties between the U.S. and sub-Saharan African countries. This report examines (1) how the AGOA eligibility review process has considered economic, political, and development reform objectives described in the act; and (2) how sub-Saharan African countries have fared in certain economic development outcomes since the enactment of AGOA. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2000, Congress passed the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), a U.S. trade preference program, in order to help spur market-led economic growth and development in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and deepen U.S. trade and investment ties with the region. Since its enactment, Congress has amended AGOA five times, making some technical changes and renewing the trade preferences through September 30, 2015. According to the Assistant U.S. Trade Representative, (USTR) for Africa, "AGOA is the cornerstone of America's trade and investment policy with sub-Saharan Africa." Economic conditions in Africa, however, have changed considerably since Congress passed the initial AGOA legislation. Annual real gross domestic product (GDP) growth in SSA was nearly a full percentage point lower than global GDP growth (2.3% vs. 3.2%) in the decade leading up to AGOA's passage (1990-2000). Over the last ten years, however, SSA's growth averaged 5.7%, two points higher than the 3.7% world average. While the region still contains many of the world's poorest countries and faces significant economic challenges, some observers and policymakers argue that changing economic conditions warrant an evolution in U.S. policy toward SSA, focused more strongly on private sector investment and increasing two-way trade. In recent years, SSA's growing economic potential and abundant natural resources have attracted other foreign investors, including state- supported enterprises from countries such as China, which is now the region's largest trading partner. This book seeks to inform the discussion on the potential reauthorization of AGOA through analysis of: (1) the components of the AGOA legislation; (2) U.S. import trends associated with AGOA; (3) the impact of AGOA on African economies and U.S.-Africa trade; and (4) the issues surrounding the reauthorization process.

This book was released on 2015-05-29 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 14 years ago, the Congress passed the African Growth and Opportunity Act, which is known as AGOA. For the first time, the United States established a trade policy that was specific to sub-Saharan Africa. AGOA was designed by a bipartisan group of lawmakers with the goal of fostering opportunities for African entrepreneurship and strengthening its job-creating trade ties with our country. Today the law allows almost all products from eligible African countries to be imported duty-free. In 2000, trade between the United States and Africa stood at less than $30 billion. It more than tripled over the following decade as exports diversified and grew, supporting job growth in both our country and in Africa. There are more than 100,000 red, white, and blue American jobs tied to AGOA. American exports to sub-Saharan Africa grew about 250 percent since the program's inception, particularly benefiting aerospace, auto, and agricultural jobs here at home.
