• The figure of Ronald Reagan towers over the 1980s, when the United States ascended from stagnation and decline to retake the heights of global primacy, spreading markets and elections liberally about the globe even as it re-consolidated capital and influence for itself. In The Reagan Moment, the ideas, events, strategies, trends, and movements that shaped that decade are revealed to have had lasting effects on international relations: The United States went from a creditor to a debtor nation; democracy crested in East Asia and returned to Latin America; the People's Republic of China moved to privatize, decentralize, and open its economy; Osama bin Laden founded Al Qaeda; and relations between Washington and Moscow thawed en route to the Soviet Union's dissolution. The Reagan Moment places US foreign relations into global context by examining the economic, international, and ideational relationships that bound Washington to the wider world. Editors Jonathan R. Hunt and Simon Miles bring together a cohort of scholars with fresh insights from untapped and declassified global sources to recast Reagan's pivotal years in power.
