Book Description
世界でも一流の知識人であるノーム・チョムスキーは、完全な支配体制を追求するアメリカと、その結果として確実に起こるであろう破滅的な未来に関する説得力のある分析を行っている。
アメリカは地球だけでなく、手近に残された最後の非武装スポットである天空を、軍事上の勢力範囲に仕立てようとしている。ブッシュ政権にとって、大地と空は、帝国主義的支配の最後のフロンティアだ。『Hegemony or Survival』でノーム・チョムスキーは、われわれがいかにしてこのような状況にいたったか、われわれはどのようなタイプの危険に陥っているのか、そしてわれわれの支配者はなぜ人類の未来を危機にさらそうとしているのかを探り出す。
トレードマークである見事な論法でもって、チョムスキーは世界の覇権をめざすアメリカの姿勢を詳細に吟味し、なんとしても「完全なる支配」を達成しようとする米政府の攻撃的な政策を追跡する。宇宙の軍事化、弾道ミサイル防衛プログラム、一方的軍縮論、国際的合意の解体、イラク危機への反応など、多様な要素をもつ政策がどのように究極的に人類の生存を危うくする覇権主義への衝動と結びついているかをわかりやすく説明する。われわれの時代において、帝国主義は地球を不毛の地に変えてしまうとチョムスキーは主張する。
明快にして厳密な記述と、徹底的な論証に支えられた『Hegemony or Survival』は、今後何年もの間、チョムスキーのきわめて重要で包括的な著作として、幅広い論議を巻き起こすことは確実だ。 --このテキストは、絶版本またはこのタイトルには設定されていない版型に関連付けられています。

チョムスキー氏は「9.11同時多発テロ」以来タブーとされている政府批判を公然としている人の代表と言えよう。「売国奴」や「反米主義者」というレッテルを張られながらも、レーガン政権時代から続く民主化政策と対テロ戦争の嘘を、客観的にかつ論理的に説明している。
本書で著者は、アメリカ政府と全世界の世論が現在の二大勢力である、と説明する。残念なことに後者が完全に無視され強行されたイラク戦争だが、「悪の枢軸」の中でイラクが最初に攻撃された理由が列挙されている。また、アメリカでは、「テロを回避するにはテロに参加しないこと」という自明の理が十分に理解されていないのが現実であり、そのアメリカを「世界最大のテロ国家」と断言している。さらには、昨今話題にあがっている宇宙における軍備化の恐怖にまで言及している。
2004年11月に行われる大統領選挙の一年前に出版されたこの本は、まさに著者の危機感と愛国者としての良心の表れであろう。歴代大統領の外交史（内政干渉史？）を知る上でも、未来を予測する上でも、良書である。

チョムスキーは、周知の通り、超一流の言語学者であったのだが、近年は立て続けに（主としてアメリカの外交政策を批判した）政治評論を発表している。それらがまた、政治学者顔負けのすばらしいものなのだが、本書は中でも最も優れた一品ではないかと思う。極めて高度な科学技術が結集された、アメリカの覇権主義は、人類滅亡への序曲であり、そのことは逆説的にも、人間の知性がバクテリアのような原始的な生物の知性以下の証である、との指摘は興味深い。

A summary of Chomsky's view, backed by current information
2003/11/6
形式:ハードカバー
During the 1990s, quite a few Chomsky books were compilations of previously-published material. He built books out of transcripts of talks, long interviews, and articles from Z magazine. Those books are all very good, but many of them had a scattered feel to them. In "Hegemony or Survival," he returns to the days when he sits at the typewriter and pounds out a new book.
This time, Chomsky sums up over 30 years of research on US foreign policy. He uses the current war in Iraq and the history of our policy toward Cuba as his key cases. That's not to say he leaves out other countries. In fact, this book mentions one country after another in which the US government worked hard to overthrow democracy abroad while covering it up at home. But, by putting emphasis on Cuba and Iraq, Chomsky shows the consistency of US policy --- the methods, the tactics, the justifications, and the effects.
It's the wide range of information that makes the book so convincing. Chomsky doesn't write opinion pieces. He presents you with a flood of facts, fully documented, and allows those facts to convince you. As you read, you'll say "Wow. Is that really true?" and flip to the footnotes. You'll find credible sources every time. You'll shake your head, wondering how you could have missed such important information. At some point, you end up reading with a finger wedged in the footnote section, flipping back and forth and making mental notes to double-check some of those sources later.
If you haven't read Chomsky before, start with one of the better interview books such as "Understanding Power" and "Chronicles of Dissent." Then read this one. If you want to understand "Why do they hate us?" (and why that isn't even the right question to ask), Chomsky has the answers.

...about what our government has brazenly done in our name, without ever actually consulting with us or getting our consent based on the facts. I just finished reading this the day this became so talked about because of Chavez. I couldn't believe it. I don't care how this gets popular but it has to become generally understood: we are largely unwitting dupes of an agenda that is so cynically anti-human, anti-egalitarian, anti-democratic and anti-american (in the real sense of that buzzword)that I am filled with shame for what we stand for in the world (from THEIR point of view, not what we like to think).
But don't take my word for it (as Chomsky would say), learn the facts for yourself as he did: by going to the declassified original documents and little known articles. Chomsky is nothing if not a thorough and responsible academic mind who starts all his research with a healthy scepticism.
Yes he has a point of view and a philosophy, like everyone else. He is not some cookie cutter leftist, though, or radical extremist who enjoys finding critical things to say about his homeland. He just wants, as many naturally do, to have a society in which all people have the opportunity for living informed, creative lives with a big say in how government is run and organized.
He does an excellent job outlining the big and largely invisible agenda that actually manipulates our consent on things we would never agree to had we known the facts. The rise of multinational corporations to hegemonic power and the rich elites that both serve and comprise them, are the elephants in the room we can feel but dare not discuss or describe. If you think we live in a democracy, you are blind.
These are big statements. Please read this for yourself and see if alot of apparently unrelated things start making sense. It's not a conspiracy of a few "number ones"; more insidiously, it is a culture of dogged pursuit of wealth and self-aggrandizement for the few at the expense of everyone else. It is the world's biggest pyriamid scheme and we are all watching the house of cards before the fall. Time to change. Time to take responsibility rather than blaming others. This is a work of insightful courage.

Watch out for the facts, they may change your mind.

I shall not repeat what several other reviewers have said, but here is a personal reactive view.
I have read a fair amount of modern history, and was only vaguely aware (like most Americans) of the many of Chomsky's facts and assertions. Some were so startling that I felt I needed to verify. After researching four and finding them unassailable, I stopped trying to fault the facts. The indictment of US foreign policy that Chomsky devolves from these facts is at such variance with our view of ourselves that one is inclined to look for an explanation. If the facts are not false, then perhaps the interpretation is the problem, so I examined the logic by re-reading the book with careful attention to the relationship between facts and conclusion. There are weaknesses in some places where an argument depends on "respected commentator" or some other unsupported assertion. However, even if one throws out all of the marginal cases, he is still left with a great deal for which to account--a paradigm changer for the honest and open minded, and something to be reviled and suppressed for those determined to believe that Americans are the good guys who go around the world altruistically stamping out evil.
Chomsky stops short of a monolithic conspiracy theory, but the pattern of behavior of the US over the last 60 years that is painted by this book is remarkably consistent and disturbing.
