Debating a Post-American World: What Lies Ahead?: Security and Governance

Editat de Sean Clark, Sabrina Hoque
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 dec 2011
The United States is currently the linchpin of global trade, technology, and finance, and a military colossus, extending across the world with a network of bases and alliances. This book anticipates the possible issues raised by a transition between American dominance and the rise of alternative powers.
While a ‘post-American’ world need not be any different than that of today, the risk associated with such a change provides ample reason for attentive study. Divided into four parts, 50 international relations scholars explore and discuss:
    • Power Transitions: addressing issues including the rise of China; the passing of American primacy and the endurance of American leadership.
    • War and Peace: addressing nuclear weapons; the risk of war; security privatization and global insecurity
    • Global Governance: addressing competition, trade, the UN, sovereignty, humanitarian intervention, law and power.
    • Energy and the Environment: addressing resource conflict, petrol, climate change and technology.
This unique project offers a compilation of disparate arguments by scholars and policy practitioners, encompassing a plurality of disciplines and theoretical perspectives. By providing clarity and focus to this essential debate on the future of the world in the next several decades, Debating a Post-American World will be of interest to students and scholars of International Relations and global politics, American politics, US Foreign policy and International Security.

Recenzii

"Lieberman challenges traditional deterrence theory, arguing that the concepts developed to explain Cold War rivalries are not suitable for non-nuclear (conventional) deterrence. He uses as case studies the Egyptian-Israeli rivalry up to 1973 and the tension between Israel and Hezbollah." - Survival
