As another presidential election looms, the America's role in
global affairs and security has emerged as one of the campaign's
great battle lines. The struggle not just to define but also to
preserve American power is no modern phenomenon: questions of
intervention and projection have dominated the nation's politics
from the days of the Founding Fathers. Then, as now, the old
centres of power were shifting. Nor is economic stress an
unfamiliar factor for policymakers. But in 2012 these problems are
compounded by the on-going financial crisis in Europe, which,
together with the overstretch and fatigue from two wars, has sapped
the strength of America's chief allies. While it may urge its NATO
partners to shoulder more of the security burden, the US finds them
less willing and occasionally unable to share the strain. This
Adelphi examines the myriad challenges America must confront if it
is to uphold and spread its values.
