Acclaim:
"The
Paradox of American Power is a timely warning that
it is perilous to disregard the deeply held concerns of
the rest of the world."
Henry A. Kissinger
"Professor
Nye's book is essential reading for those doing business
in the global economy. Nye demonstrates that while
globalization and the information revolution have been a
boon to the world economy, they have brought with them
great challenges to American power and influence."
George Soros
"Most
interesting is Nye's analysis of the 'information
revolution' and 'globalization,' both of which, he
argues, favor a continuing
American ascendancy. Among his more intriguing ideas is
the contention that globalization does not equal
homogenization.... Fluid and engaging."
Kirkus Reviews
"Joseph
Nye--consistently one of the wiser heads around--has
produced, yet again, a lucid, forceful critique of
American foreign policy and a sensible, far-sighted
prescription for making American power more palatable
and more effective around the world. In the wake of
September 11, The Paradox of American Power could hardly
be more timely. It reflects Nye's multiple experiences
in government as well as his perspective as a scholar
and thinker."
Strobe Talbott, Yale University
"Joe
Nye is one of the most astute observers of the changing
nature of international politics. His new book provides
an excellent framework for viewing U.S. role in the 21st
century and especially after the events of September
11."
Madeleine Albright
"In
lucid and concise prose, Joe Nye sums up the ambiguities
and complexities of American power. He provides a
valuable context for understanding how tomaximize our
strength and minimize our vulnerabilities in the
post-September 11th world."
Richard Holbrooke
