A Calculus of Power

Traces the contours of the world order that emerged after the end of the Cold War, and assesses its prospects in the light of the global economic downturn. Arguing that the inter-state system was shaped from the outset by Washington's drive to maintain its status as global hegemon, this title reveals the myths of the liberal mainstream.
