Is 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. But analogies about decline only divert policy makers from creating effective strategies for the future, says Nye. The nature of power has changed. The real-and unprecedented-challenge is managing the transition to growing global interdependence.

Genre:

  • “Mr. Nye marshals his wide grasp of history, politics, and economics to produce a compelling book.”
    Economist
  • “Now, at last, the anti-declinists are firing back, and the best volley comes from Nye… the first to marshal the anti-decline arguments into a scholarly work and present and alternate vision of the country’s future… This book may help lift today’s gloom.”
    David R. Gergen, U.S. News & World Report
  • “From now on, nobody will be able to debate the question of American ‘decline’ except in the framework this book defines. It is solidly grounded, clear-headed, and powerfully argued – and extraordinary book”
    Ernest R. May, Harvard University
