Noam Chomsky and the power of global rhetoric on humanitarian interventions

Abstract

A controversial author, mix of an intellectual and an activist, Avram Noam Chomsky has been a hard critic of international politics since the years 1960, and especially of his own country, the United States of America, which accuses of developing a program of imperial globalization, with serious consequences for citizenship of millions of human beings on the planet. This paper emphasizes the contribution of Chomsky on the analysis of situations related to recent humanitarian conflicts in many parts of the world. By making a panel on which he describes nearly to exhaustion the so-called "terrible crimes" committed in the "new era", Chomsky casts light on the political discourse of governors, representatives of international organizations, journalists and authors in the field of international politics, seeking to reveal what not everyone can or want to see.
