The End of the American Century
This is a well-written, engaging, and impressive work in scope and integration.The End of the American Centuryprovides the information and analysis for the informed discussion and debate about our economic and political problems that must take place as we face the monumental decisions that will decide our fate over the coming generations. It should be read by all who share a deep concern for the American future, but especially by young people who must live in it. (James R. Kluegel, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)With remarkable clarity and evenness of tone, Mason's text provokes students to think out loud together about what it means to be American in the world today, and how a range of interconnected issues, conventionally ignored in more orthodox IR, are directly relevant to their future lives. I’m excited about teaching with this book. (Mark Rupert, Syracuse University)Well designed and thoroughly argued. The author does a splendid job of backing up every one of his assertions. This book has an enormous amount to say and deserves a wide audience. (Mark Gibney, University of North Carolina at Asheville)
