'This is a comprehensive and very insightful scholarly contribution to the debate about the US exceptional and controversial role in international relations today. The authors address the topics of hegemony, power politics, geopolitics, and the balance of domestic and foreign policies. The book should be suitable for class use in the fields of international relations, US foreign policy, or global studies.' Eric Shiraev, George Mason University, USA 'The essays are all well-documented and offer much information. The authors present different theses, but all agree that the degree of US supremacy after 9/11 has had negative by-products for the international system.' The International Spectator '...timely and illuminating, allowing the reader to understand the issues discussed her a little better.' Etudes internationales
