'With insight and verve, Carla Norrlof makes a strong case for the
durability of U.S. hegemony in the world economy. Incorporating
security considerations as well as trade and monetary relations,
her analysis represents International Political Economy at its
best.' Benjamin J. Cohen, University of California at Santa
Barbara
'This is the most interesting work on hegemony and world politics
for the past 10 years. Especially impressive is Chapter 6's
argument that US military power has translated into the capacity of
the United States to be able to command a 'security premium', that
is, an ability to attract investment from abroad that it would not
enjoy were it not so powerful militarily. This is likely to stir
theoretical controversy and prompt important new research. A well
written, sophisticated yet accessible book.' Joseph M. Grieco, Duke
University
