Bound To Lead: The Changing Nature Of American PowerIs America still Number 1? A leading scholar of international politics and former State Department official takes issue with Paul Kennedy and others and clearly demonstrates that the United States is still the dominant world power, with no challenger in sight.

The real-and unprecedented-challenge is managing the transition to growing global interdependence. |
