During the 1970s, American overseas policy experienced a predicament of clashing imperatives - US decision creators, already struggling to maintain steadiness and devise proper frameworks to steer the exercise of American electric power during the Freezing Warfare, found themselves hampered by the emergence of dilemmas that could come to a brain in the post-Cold Warfare era. Their options became of enormous outcome for the development of American foreign plan in the ultimate years of the twentieth hundred years and beyond. In A Superpower Transformed, historian Daniel J. Sargent chronicles how policymakers across three administrations proved helpful to manage complicated international changes in a tumultuous time. Sketching on many newly-released archival documents and interviews with key results, including Chief executive Jimmy Carter and Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Sargent explores the collision of geopolitics and globalization that described the decade. From your Nixon administration's attempts to stabilize a faltering Pax Americana; to Henry Kissinger's tries to devise new ways of deal with or mitigate the results of financial globalization following the oil crisis of 1973-74; to the Carter administration's embrace of human rights promotion as a central job for foreign plan, Sargent explores the issues that afflicted US policymakers in the 1970s, offering new insights into the complexities that emerged as the new forces of globalization and human rights transformed the United States as a superpower. A sweeping reinterpretation of a pivotal time, A Superpower Transformed is a must-listen for anyone interested in U.S. overseas relations, American politics, globalization, financial policy, human rights, and contemporary American history.
