America as the world's superpower has shaped the world as we know it, but is this the world it intended when it first gained its power?
This second episode of Conflicted's second season looks back at the early 1990s, when America emerged from the Cold War as the world’s sole superpower and declared its ambition to create a “New World Order” - but did they really succeed?
Aimen and Thomas explore:
- Bush Senior’s vision for a global system built on liberal democracy and free markets.
- The Gulf War as America’s first test of its new hegemonic role.
- Saudi reactions to U.S. troops and the cultural ripple effects of globalisation.
- The rise of Islamist resistance to Western influence, from Safar Al-Hawali to Osama bin Laden.
- Why the Israel-Palestine peace process failed and how that failure fuelled extremism.
