This volume explores the questions raised by American power from
a variety of perspectives. Is the emphasis laid on military power
likely to be self-defeating for the United States in the long run?
Is “soft power” or persuasion a more effective way to
promote American interests and goals? How is American predominance
perceived in Europe, China and the Arab world? Will it last or will
other powers coalesce to resist US hegemony? The authors address
these and other fundamental questions in rigorous and historically
sensitive analyses of this critical juncture in global
politics.
The book will be of great interest to students and scholars in
political science and international relations, as well as all those
concerned with and by one of the key topics of our time.
