The Second Cold War

Geopolitics and the Strategic Dimension of the United States. From the Rebellions in Eurasia to North Africa and the Middle East. The Second Cold War — Geopolitics and the Strategic Dimension of the United States (From the Rebellions in Eurasia to North Africa and the Middle East) is a history book, but a history of the present. As a political scientist, the author, Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandeira, understands that politics and history are closely linked, which is why Antonio Gramsci considered that "a great history book is one that helps developing forces in the present to concretely become more active and feasible." In accordance with this guideline, Professor Moniz Bandeira wrote *The Second Cold War*, in which he analyzes and studies, based on the most diverse sources of information, the events that since the dissolution of the Socialist Bloc and the disintegration of the Soviet Union itself have shaken the countries of Eurasia and still convulse the Middle East and North Africa, given that the United States continues to implement the strategy of full-spectrum dominance (full-spectrum dominance) against the presence of Russia and China in those regions. This work, therefore, deepens, expands, and updates another of his authors — *Formation of the American Empire (From the War against Spain to the War in Iraq)*— published in 2005 by Editora Civilização Brasileira, already translated and published in Argentina, Cuba, and the People's Republic of China. Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandeira, according to Argentine writer Isidoro Gilbert in the Buenos Aires newspaper Clarín, "is without a doubt the most important Brazilian specialist in international relations, and his books attest to the extent of his knowledge, the astuteness of his analyses and the originality of his thinking."
