Power, Profit and Prestige applies incisive historical and sociological analysis to make sense of the United States’ post-Cold War imperial behaviour.

Philip Golub studies imperial identity formation and shows how an embedded culture of force and expansion has shaped American foreign policy. He argues that the US logic of world power and deeply rooted assumptions about American primacy inhibits democratic transformation at domestic and international levels. This resistance to change may lead the US empire into a crisis of its own making.

This enlightening book will be particularly useful to students of history and international relations as they explore a world where America is no longer able to set the global agenda.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The ultimate question he raises is whether American leadership can renounce the idea of being the indispensable centre of world order so as to accept a plural world, working out with others a moving consensus on global governance. This insightful book is an abundant resource for serious reflective thinking on the trajectory of world politics today." --Robert W. Cox
