Power in the global information age: From realism to globalization
Routledge, New York, (2004)
Abstract
ower in the Global Information Age brilliantly outlines American foreign policy for the new millennium by bringing together Nye's most important reflections from government and academia. Confronting both right and left, Nye outlines America's post-Cold-War role in international affairs and presents an image of an America that has accepted its responsibility to preserve peace abroad, to maintain an open world economy and to serve as a beacon of democracy and prosperity. Collecting Nye's most important pieces on the international order as well as new essays, the book addresses the key questions that illustrate the complex interdependence of the post-9/11 world: Is America an empire in inevitable decline? Have transnational actors made the traditional 'realist' power politics obsolete? What can terrorists achieve? And why do we no longer trust our government?
