AMERICA IN THE WORLD FROM TRUMAN TO BIDEN - SIM...

Does America still count in the world? Can the world still count on America? In raising such
questions halfway into a series of systemic shocks that began in September 2001  Simon Serfaty
a long-time scholar of international politics  reminds Americans that their country's
well-being and that of the world are intertwined. Play it again  Sam: History is in a foul mood
again  and this is no time to come home and leave behind an unfinished European Union facing
the ghosts of a revanchist Russia still claiming the Old World as its own  a strategic dark
hole in the Greater Middle East  on the eve of a global Sarajevo moment  and China's surging
hegemonic power in a continent fraught with too much history and too little geography.
Admittedly  what is good for America may no longer be best for all the West  and what is good
for the West may no longer be good for much of the Rest: the unipolar moment is irreversibly
over. Yet  writing in an elegant style and with muchhistorical insight  Serfaty argues that
even with the old power map irreversibly gone  mainly to the benefit of the non-Western world 
a new world order for the twenty-first century will remain dependent on the U.S. role  its
capabilities and its efficacy  as well as its leadership and its purpose.
