On the one hand, the U.S. has vociferously promoted modernization and open markets, both central components of the process of globalization. On the other hand, it appears to be resolutely determined not to live within an institutional framework of globalized authority. As the world's only superpower, the United States is often perceived as championing its own narrow national sovereignty--for example, by opposing the Kyoto Protocol and the International Criminal Court, and by taking action in Iraq outside the auspices of the UN. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book treats the paradox of American exceptionalism and globalization as a \"local\" happening within the broader process of globalization. These essays analyze the ways in which the USA has both played a role in, and reacted against, emerging present-day globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamples are drawn from the fields of history, political science, cultural studies, and economics, making this collection one of the very few to link together so diverse a group of authors and approaches to the subject of global USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804751568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.62w x 0.56d","brand":"Bruce Mazlish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51911614005429,"sku":"9780804751568","price":22.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_888eb60b-b2b8-475a-aba2-c542681cb7c6.jpg?v=1761056880","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-paradox-of-a-global-usa-9780804751568","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
