520    "For over sixty years the United States has been the 
       largest economy and most powerful country in the world. 
       However, there is growing speculation that this era of 
       hegemony is under threat as it faces huge trade deficits, 
       a weaker currency, and stretched military resources. 
       America's Global Advantage argues that, despite these 
       difficulties, the U.S. will maintain its privileged 
       position. In this original and important contribution to a
       central subject in International Relations, Carla Norrlof 
       challenges the prevailing wisdom that other states benefit
       more from U.S. hegemony than the United States itself. By 
       analysing America's structural advantages in trade, money,
       and security, and the ways in which these advantages 
       reinforce one another, Norrlof shows how and why America 
       benefits from being the dominant power in the world. 
       Contrary to predictions of American decline, she argues 
       that American hegemony will endure for the foreseeable 
       future"--Half title.
