In the waning months of the Cold War, shortly before an expiring
Soviet Union finally disintegrated, a group of neoconservative
policymakers and intellectuals began to argue that the moment had
come to create an American-dominated world order. Some of them
called it 'the unipolarist imperative'. Instead of reducing
military spending, they contended, the United States needed to
expand its military reach to every region of the world, using
America's tremendous military and economic power to create a new
Pax Americana. This book describes how the ideology of American
global preminence originated during the presidency of George H. W.
Bush, developed in the 1990s, gained power with the election of
George W. Bush, and reshaped American foreign policy after
September 11, 2001. Structured as a narrative, this account deals
with government policymakers and outside advocates. It tells the
story of the development of unipolarist ideology and its role in
recent American foreign policy. It makes an argument about the
nature and problems of this ideology, emphasizing that an unrivaled
superpower makes the whole world its geopolitical neighborhood.; It
offers a critique of the unilateralist militarism of the second
Bush administration and it contends that the problem of imperial
expansiveness, though dramatically heightened by the Bush
administration, did not begin with it. The problem is inherent in
the anxiety of being a global hegemon.
