Contents/Summary

Summary

"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 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."--Jacket.
