Dear all,

I am a sociology graduate student at the University of California-Santa
Cruz and I am teaching a course this summer on the history of world
capitalism. I was wondering if any of you out there could recommend an
elusive book hot off the presses on the following topic: contemporary
imperialist rivalry between the U.S., Japan, and the EC, with references
to such phenomena as the Gulf War, Helms-Burton, U.S. sanctions against
"rogue states," trade and investment policy w/China, the formation of
supra-national currency blocs, the expansion of NATO, disputes in the
WTO, and so on. I've been looking for such a comprehensive and
theoretically savvy source but haven't found it yet.

Whatever help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Just e-mail
me directly.

Thanks much in advance,
