Global Norms, American Sponsorship and the Emerging Patterns of World Politics

Simon Reich presents an interpretation of the relationship between material (hard) and social (soft) power, with implications for the alternative ways these link and the impact of these linkages on the future of American policy. Global Normsoffers a new way of understanding both theory and policy in the 21st Century.
