Hegemony, institutionalism and US foreign policy: theroy and practice in comparative histroical perspective / Mark Beeson and Richard Higgott - 2005

Explores the theoretical and policy implications of contemporary US hegemony. Argues that American power was both enhanced and constrained by the development in the post Second World War era of a highly institutionalised multilateral system. Suggests that America's recent unilateralism is undermining the foundations on which its power and influence are based.
