At last, a book I can completely recommend to students and scholars alike. - Michael Cox, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK [A] first-rate discussion of evolving US global hegemony... lucidly argued, theoretically sophisticated and persuasive. Mabee's confidently rooted, historical understanding of contemporary issues shines through on nearly every page. - John Dumbrell, International Affairs Mabee argues that analysis of US power are incomplete without a focus on the domestic source of power. Though his central purpose is to examine US power in the world today, he carefully defines power as a function of both system- and state-level variables. - Choice
