Sources of social power. T. 4. Globalization, 1945-2011 (in 4 volumes)

In this work, the author describes and analyzes all the significant events and phenomena of world history from the end of the Second World War to the present day, from the formation of the bipolar system of the world order and the outbreak of the Cold War to the global economic crisis of recent years.
The book is divided into 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to the history and analysis of world history on a clearly defined period of time, for example, in the first chapter we are talking about the collapse of the colonial world order, the formation of the Bretton-Wood violation system and the beginning of the confrontation of the two superpowers (USA and the USSR), in the second - the analysis of post -war economic development, the formation of the concept of the state of universal prosperity and interracial conflicts. The latest chapters talk about the global economic crisis, problems of global warming and other pressing problems of our time. In general, the content of the book can be seen even at the first glance at the cover, on which, as if on a horizontal schedule, each of the divisions of which is one year (from 1945 to 2014), the main events of world history for each year are listed.

The new work of Michael Mann will be interesting for everyone who is interested in world history, political science, sociology and international relations
