Finalist for the 2006 Gelber Prize: "A brilliant contribution to the American foreign policy debate."―Anatol Lieven,New York Times Book ReviewAt a time when America's dominance abroad was being tested like never before,Taming American Powerprovided for the first time a "rigorous critique of current U.S. strategy" (Washington Post Book World) from the vantage point of its fiercest opponents. Stephen M. Walt examines America's place as the world's singular superpower and the strategies that rival states have devised to counter it. Hailed as a "landmark book" byForeign Affairs, Taming American Powermakes the case that this ever-increasing tide of opposition not only could threaten America's ability to achieve its foreign policy goals today but also may undermine its dominant position in years to come
