Understanding American Power

"This book goes beyond the limits of current debates to provide a comprehensive reassessment of American power in the Twentieth-first Century. It examines the many different forms of power -- including the broad array of economic, military, political and ideological forces -- that shape America's global position. Bryan Mabee argues that in order to grasp the dynamics of foreign policy we need to understand more about the United States itself: how such power has developed historically and institutionally and how the international environment impinges on (and provides opportunities for) the expression of power internationally. Addressing issues which go to to the heart of contemporary international relations, this is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the prospects for American power. -- Back cover.
