Taming American Power – The Global Response to U.S. Primacy

At a time when Americas dominance abroad was being tested like never before Taming American Power provided for the first time a rigorous critique of current U.S. strategy (Washington Post Book World) from the vantage point of its fiercest opponents. Stephen M. Walt examines Americas place as the worlds singular superpower and the strategies that rival states have devised to counter it. Hailed as a landmark book by Foreign Affairs Taming American Power makes the case that this ever-increasing tide of opposition not only could threaten Americas ability to achieve its foreign policy goals today but also may undermine its dominant position in years to come.
