Two years after The Flood of Al-Aqsa, and on the verge of an agreement to end the genocidal war in Gaza, the Center for Arab Unity Studies is publishing this book, which is a collective work in which a group of Arab researchers and writers contributed, and most of its studies were published in the Arab Future journal over the past two years. The book includes thirty chapters that dealt with most of the background and dimensions of The Flood of Al-Aqsa operation, the genocidal war that Gaza was subjected to for two consecutive years, and the Israeli-American wars on the region during these two years.

This book explores the meaning of imperialism as a concentrated component of wasteful accumulation and perpetual militarization. It discusses the key arguments of David Harvey and John Smith regarding the role of the United States, which, in their view, no longer represents the sole “imperial power,” now that China and Russia have become as dominant or imperialistic as the United States.

This book sheds light on the American scene and seeks to dismantle its future trajectories; the United States has entered a phase of decline due to the choices and policies it has followed for several decades on the political, economic, military and cultural levels. This led to the loss of its former strengths; the abandonment of the industrial production structure and the replacement of it with a rentier financial economy was reflected in the political and social structure; a new class of administrative professionals came to control matters and was disconnected from the people.
