From Wealth to Power: The Unusual Origins of America's World Role
3.5 stars, really.
This is a book-version of Zakaria's dissertation, so be forewarned. Still, it's not the most dry thing in the world, especially if this sort of thing floats your boat.
Zakaria examines the question of why nations expand by looking at what happened in the US in the late 19th century. Part history text and part international relations text, Zakaria argues that neither realism (nations expand because they can) nor defensive realism (nations expand because they perceive that they are threatened) can fully answer his question. Instead, he discusses state-centered realism, which takes into account that economic power needs to align with political will/power.
Is anyone reading this review? I thought not.
