Items related to American Power in the 21st Century
America wields a combination of military, economic and cultural power that many consider unprecedented. The way America uses this power has repercussions on every major issue of world affairs, including the prospects of regional security, the spread of democratic governance, and the provision of global public goods in economic and environmental domains. 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. Contributors include: Robert Cooper, Michael Cox, Zhiyuan Cui, Abdelwahab El--Affendi, G. John Ikenberry, Robert Kagan, Mary Kaldor, Joseph S. Nye, Thomas Risse.

Review:
"This is a fine collection of essays that exemplifies the many different intellectual pathways to the conventional scholarly wisdom about constraints on American power."
About the Author:
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
David Held is Graham Wallas Professor of Political Science Mathias Koenig--Archibugi is Lecturer in Global Politics, both at the London School of Economics and Political Science
