About this book
Fear and terror have come to drive world politics, and the people who do the driving have shaped and used them to carry out their policies. As the world's political economy devolves into chaos, Globalization of American Fear Culture posits that violence and fear have become the new statecraft.
Reviews
“I feel professor Skoll presents a well-argumented book which is a result of years of academic maturation and research. … Skoll exerts a radical and illustrative criticism on the ‘culture of fear’ in the USA. It gives us an impressive snapshot of the USA so that readers may expand their understanding of what capitalism is. To my end, this is one of those books which are a must-read reference … .” (Maximiliano E. Korstanje, International Journal of Human Rights and Constitutional Studies, Vol. 4 (4), 2016)
