text, The Paradox of American Power: Why the Worlds Only Superpower Cant Go it Alone. Nye, the dean of Harvard Universitys John F. Kennedy School of Government, is an
articulate expert on international relations. Much of this text was written in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and was revised to consider the U.S. military
action against Saddam Hussein and Iraq. Nye takes direct aim at the unilateral foreign policy of President George W. Bush, and claims that the United States cannot possibly chart
a singular course in a global stage where there are many players vying for their fifteen minutes of fame. A unilateral stance naturally tends to aggravate other countries that
tend to view the U.S. as a bully with a foreign policy that amounts to our way or the highway. Although American military might appear to be invincible
at this point, there are bound to be chinks in the armor exposed at some point, and international support will then become crucial. Allies are a key component in
any type of international diplomacy, treaty negotiations or in promoting the free trade the American economy thrives upon. It will be difficult to keep in intervening in internal matters
that may affect American security or revenues, but Nye suggests it is essential to view these situations in the long term rather than short term. A shortsighted involvement in
the affairs of a country (i.e., Vietnam and currently Iraq) could have serious international repercussions later that can adversely affect support for American policies abroad. Nyes text presents a complete
view of America both at home and abroad, which is reflected in the chapter titles "The American Colossus," "The Information Revolution," "Globalization," "The Home Front," and "Redefining the National Interest."
