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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contributors include: Robert Cooper, Michael Cox, Zhiyuan Cui, Abdelwahab El-Affendi, G.
