Hegemony, institutionalism and US foreign policy: Theory and practice in comparative historical perspective

Article Abstract:

The key argument on the theoretical and policy implications of contemporary American hegemony is that the development of US hegemony generally and the distinctive turn in US foreign policy in the wake of 9/11, can best be understood by placing events in a comparative and historical framework. The immediate post-World War II order laid the foundations of highly institutionalised multilateral system that provided benefits for a number of countries, while enhancing US power.

Globalization, the new US exceptionalism and the war on terror

Article Abstract:

The tensions between a new exclusive US exceptionalism after 9/11 and a globalized security environment are analyzed. This new American exceptionalism has become serious impediment to effectively prosecuting the war on terror as, in the era of globalization, it is the support of other nations that offers the best hope of ensuring that the US lives in a more secure world.
