For over sixty years the United States has been the largest economy
and most powerful country in the world. However, there is growing
speculation that this era of hegemony is under threat as it faces huge
trade deficits, a weaker currency, and stretched military
resources. America's Global Advantage argues that, despite these
difficulties, the US will maintain its privileged position. In this
original and important contribution to a central subject in
International Relations, Carla Norrlof challenges the prevailing wisdom
that other states benefit more from US hegemony than the United States
itself. By analyzing America's structural advantages in trade, money,
and security, and the ways in which these advantages reinforce one
another, Norrlof shows how and why America benefits from being the
dominant power in the world. Contrary to predictions of American
decline, she argues that American hegemony will endure for the
foreseeable future.
