U.S. Confidential. Così funziona l'America. La lectio di Lucio Caracciolo a VL2015

Udine, Near/Lost 2015 - Friday, May 8 U.S. CONFIDENTIAL. HOW AMERICA WORKS Lecture by LUCIO CARACCIOLO Introduced by GUGLIELMO CEVOLIN In collaboration with LiMes and Gruppo Historia With the support of Amga At dawn on September 11, 2001, America opened its eyes to a world it seemingly dominated and from which it could not be threatened. A few hours later, the attack on the Twin Towers plunged it into fear. Since then, the United States has been at war. The longest war in its history, with no end in sight. The United States of America is still the world's leading power, and everyone is interested in its international influence. But what, and how much, do we know about how the United States functions internally? The latest volume of Limes, U.S. CONFIDENTIAL. Confidential is dedicated to analyzing the political and institutional mechanisms that drive the international actions of the Stars and Stripes. It's a way to better understand America's trajectory, which so often intersects with our own. Lucio Caracciolo - He directs the geopolitical journals LiMes and Heartland.
