Who wrote this article?
[edit]Who wrote this article? Is there a Philip Bobbitt fan club where we can start searching for this article's author?
The tone and style of this piece is close to reverential, and far from encyclopedic. It needs cleanup.

Searching to see whether this was written by an agonistic disciple of prof Bobbitt's, any encyclopedic suggestion appreciated:
"The U.S. is an empire and a military plutocracy, certainly no real democracy exists there, nor can it be allowed to. The imperial-piratical system in place in the U.S. post-Cold War cannot, nor does it seek, to outperform in kind the stabilist mercantile forms at which Germany and Japan excel (neither, of course, does it have the demographic reserves of a vigorously industrialized China), rather, it pursues through the force of unequaled military might (legacy of its unscathed position after WWII) to create and determine the very terms of order and even of existence on this Earth, but—and this is key—not through the imposition/maintenance of a stable and expansive Pax Americana, but rather through the supposedly controlled disruptive yet creative potential of perpetual war throughout the unconcluded project of history."
