Produktinformationen zu „The American Era: Power and Strategy for the 21st Century “
The American Era makes a provocative argument about America's world role. It sets out the case for a grand strategy that recognizes American preponderance as necessary and desirable for coping with the perils of the post-9/11 world. Firstly, militant Islamic terrorism plus weapons of mass destruction pose a threat and require us to alter the way we think about the preemptive and even preventive use of force. Secondly, the UN and other international bodies are habitually incapable of acting on the most urgent problems. Thirdly, in a decentralized international system other countries will look to the U.S. for leadership as no other country has the ability or the will to do so. Thus, when such values as human rights, liberty and stability cannot be reliably assured by institutions such as the UN and the European Union, active intervention by the U.S. on those issues that matter most becomes a necessity, not something about which to be apologetic.

Rezension zu „The American Era: Power and Strategy for the 21st Century “
'[The American Era is] a wonderful, elegant and compelling analysis in every respect ... It will become compulsory reading on my Masters US Foreign Policy course next year and, I believe, should be read - and hopefully understood! - by anyone interested in American foreign policy. It really represents a magnificent achievement and is a work of exemplary scholarship. I hope and trust it receives the positive impact, reviews and sales that it thoroughly deserves.' Robert Singh, Birkbeck College, University of London 'We can only hope other books, whatever their normative agenda, will follow this example.' Political Science 'The writing is refreshingly free of jargon - a fault of much of the literature written in opposition to Lieber's thesis. His case is argued to strong, non-partisan effect. His examples are telling. The overall impact is to restructure the debate over recent American foreign policy along lines that are calm, analytical, and scholarly. We can only hope other books, whatever their normative agenda, will follow this example.' Japanese Journal of Political Science
