Another American Century: The United States and the World since 9/11

* Will the United States dominate the 21st century?

* How does the United States see its role in the coming years?

* Can a single superpower make the world a safer and more just place in
which to live?

At the opening of the new century, the United States finds itself in an extraordinary position -- in economic, military, political and cultural terms, its actions exert a profound influence far beyond its borders. Another American Century? offers a roadmap to this new era of US pre-eminence, drawing on the experiences of the past decade to outline the effects and consequences of America's formidable power. In addition, this book looks at how US policymakers understand their role in the world, and the ideologies which enable them to pursue policies with often such disastrous
consequences for people outside America.

Another American Century? explores two questions: How does the US shape the rest of the world? And how does it persuade itself that its actions are just? If the 21st century is to be American, the answers will be of vital interest to everyone.
