Taming American Power: The Global Response to U.S. Primacy

In his provocative new book, "Taming American Power: The Global Response to US Primacy", renowned scholar Stephen Walt analyzes the different strategies used by other countries to counter U.S. power. Walt cites that many countries are becoming increasingly worried about U.S. dominance and are beginning to turn their concerns into actions. These responses threaten our country's ability to achieve foreign policy goals and may eventually undermine our foremost position. To prevent this, Walt argues that the U.S. must adopt a foreign policy that other countries welcome, rather than one that reinforces the fear of U.S. power.
