"This is a fascinating new analysis of the old question of American decline. It’s one of those rare edited books that thrive on disagreement rather than building a consensus. The diverse perspectives here are sure to help inform debate about the changing world order." — Amitav Acharya, Distinguished Professor of International Relations, American University, USA and former President of the International Studies Association"In their invigorating book, Regilme and Parisot send up a neon yellow warning flag: beware the analytical dangers of a seductive fixation on simplistic statist power hierarchies. That fixation, they reveal, will blind us to the more complex social processes that comprise current international politics." — Cynthia Enloe, author of "Bananas, Beaches and Bases" and Research Professor of Political Science at Clark University, USA"Providing interdisciplinary perspectives on the past and potential future of American hegemony, this book is a timely analysis of a number of specific issue areas as they relate to emerging powers." — Susan D. Hyde, Professor of Political Science and Avice Chair in Public Policy, The Charles and Louise Travers Department of Political Science, University of California, Berkeley, USA"This critical collection of voices profoundly deepens our understanding of one of the most fundamental questions of the 21st century. Will global power transformations lead to a more just and prosperous global order for all? Or will they ignite a conflict that will reverse decades of progress?" — Thomas Hale, Associate Professor of Global Governance, Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, United Kingdom"This book deals with two of the most important features of the contemporary international system: the rise of new powers and the relative decline of the United States. The contributors provide an excellent and accessible analysis of these changes and their impact on key bilateral relations." — Mark Beeson, Professor and Discipline Chair of Political Science and International Relations, University of Western Australia, Australia"Declining hegemony is the most debated subject in fields such as International Relations, World History, and Comparative Political Economy. American Hegemony and the Rise of Emerging Powers adds new and topical insights to this debate. The book shines through its interdisciplinary approach to the study of changes in global leadership, normative sovereignty, and international governance as they result from the rise and decline of epistemic, economic, financial, diplomatic, and military capabilities". — Roland Czada, Professor and Chair in Government and Public Policy, University of Osnabrück, Germany"Is US hegemony stable or declining? The answer, this eclectic collection suggests, depends on where one looks: economics, or security? East Asia, or Latin America? Central Asia, or Africa? The different regional perspectives in this book helpfully advance a debate on rising powers hitherto overly-focused on China and global-level dynamics." — Lee Jones, Reader in International Politics, Queen Mary, University of London, UK"This book confronts a question of profound importance. What will arise as US hegemony declines? The complexity of this question is addressed by a diverse group of insightful writers whose rich contributions establish the starting point for a discussion that is key to understanding the future direction of the international system. The stage has been set, let the debate begin." — Jerry Harris, National Secretary, Global Studies Association of North America
