Description
Book SynopsisWith American leadership facing increased competition from China and India, the question of how hegemons emerge - and are able to create conditions for lasting stability - is of utmost importance in international relations. The author draws attention to the critical role played by finance in the emergence of these liberal hegemons.
Trade Review"As the United States faces both military and economic challenges to its international status, Birth of Hegemony speaks to important and timely debates. Drawing on the insights of political science, history, finance, and economics, Andrew C. Sobel provides a masterly critique of existing hegemonic theories, extending our understanding of how states develop into international leaders and how they stabilize the global system." (William T. Bernhard, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)"
