John Ikenberry Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011. 372pp, $35.50 cloth ISBN 978-0-691-12558-9THE PRESIDENCY OF GEORGE W BUSH A First Historical Assessment Edited by Julian E. Zelizer Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2010. 386pp, $29.95 PaPer ISBN 978-0-691-14901-1John Ikenberry' s book-length study of postwar American internationalism - and second administration's break from it - offers many insights, but it covers events from 2001 to 2008 in insufficient detail to gauge their significance. By contrast, Julian Zelizer' s edited collection, which emerged from a 2008 Princeton conference of historians, lacks a unifying perspective, a failing characteristic of its genre. Nevertheless, one can infer a persuasive overall interpretation of Bush's policies from book's diverse essays.Ikenberry begins by recapitulating his earlier work on construction of an American-led multilateral after 1945. In this hegemonic order, United States supported an open world economy and directed western collective security. It agreeed to operate within a framework of alliances and multilateral that made exercise of American power more restrained and and provided channels and mechanisms for states within to consult on and influence American policy (216). At end of Cold War, Ikenberry continues, bipolarity gave way to a temporary unipolarity. The western economic system expanded and multilateral structures integrated former eastern bloc. But evanescence of Soviet threat left other states less dependent on United States for their security, and in such conditions of unipolarity the power of leading state is rendered salient and worrisome (246). The second administration regarded multilateral as unnecessary constraints on American freedom of action and sought to weaken them as well as to perpetuate unipolar moment. After 9/11 terrorist attacks, it wholeheartedly embraced a strategy based on ad hoc coalitions, preemptive attacks on state and nonstate threats, and provision of global security by a dominant United States. In exchange, it expected exemptions from rules that bound other states. But, as Ikenberry concludes, Bush revolution was undone by fatal contradiction between its global ambitions and its conservative-nationalist insistence on unilateralist prerogatives. This tension could only have been reconciled if the United States [had been] wiiling, and able, to enforce through systematic exercise of coercion (2 69). Because it rejected ruthlessness of outright empire, United States continued to depend on goodwill of others, and insistence on immunity from usual norms deprived American power of legitimacy required to purchase cooperation.Ikenberry welcomes United States's return to multilateralism during latter years and Obama administration. He notes that the United States has been one of most successful order-building states in world history because it has combined exercise of its power with championing of rule-based order (xv). The possible futures he sees include a liberal that does not depend upon a hegemonic power (an arrangement whose staying power he doubts given lack of consensus on a sustaining ideology and norms of international conduct), and a gradual breakdown of liberal into a more competitive multipolar system. His preferred option seems to be a renegotiated American hegemony, in which the United States would agree to greater sharing of authority and decision-making within global security and economic institutions (309).This is a persuasive assessment of why administration's bid for unconstrained hegemony failed and why a more predictable and rulebased would benefit United States. …" @default.
