World Out of Balance: International Relations and the Challenge of American Primacy (repost)

Stephen G. Brooks, William C. Wohlforth, "World Out of Balance: International Relations and the Challenge of American Primacy"
Princeton University Press | 2008 | ISBN: 0691137846 | 226 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB

World Out of Balance is the most comprehensive analysis to date of the constraints on the United States’ use of power in pursuit of its security interests. Stephen Brooks and William Wohlforth overturn conventional wisdom by showing that in a unipolar system, where the United States is dominant in the scales of world power, the constraints featured in international relations theory are generally inapplicable. In fact, the authors argue that the U.S. will not soon lose its leadership position; rather, it stands before a twenty-year window of opportunity for reshaping the international system.
