"This is a fine collection of essays that exemplifies the many different intellectual pathways to the conventional scholarly wisdom about constraints on American power."

Perspectives on Politics

"This is a book brimming with ideas, which is calculated to start rather than end a debate."

Keith Kyle, International Affairs

"A collection of essays assembled largely from the 2003 Miliband Lectures at the London School of Economics, presents a smorgasbord of competing vision of the future. Sketching four potential future states – empire, global democracy, collective security, balance of power – they provide outer limits of possible future states within which contributors comfortably fall. Reading the book from cover to cover produces a gaggle of voices and plenty of material for classroom debate."

Alex Goodall, Times Higher Education Supplement

"Gathering together many of the world's best geopolitical thinkers, this book is essential reading for anyone worried by the impact of American power on global governance. The inclusion of Arab and Chinese perspectives is particularly welcome."

Charles Grant, Centre for European Reform
