During the 1970s, American foreign policy faced a predicament of
clashing imperatives-US decision makers, already struggling to
maintain stability and devise strategic frameworks to guide the
exercise of American power during the Cold War, found themselves
hampered by the emergence of dilemmas that would come to a head in
the post-Cold War era. Their choices proved to be of enormous
consequence for the development of American foreign policy in the
final decades of the twentieth century and beyond. In A Superpower
Transformed, Daniel J. Sargent chronicles how policymakers across
three administrations worked to manage complex international
changes in a tumultuous era. Drawing on many newly-released
archival documents and interviews with key figures, including
President Jimmy Carter and Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Sargent
explores the collision of geopolitics and globalization that
defined the decade. From the Nixon administration's efforts to
stabilize a faltering Pax Americana; to Henry Kissinger's attempts
to devise new strategies to manage or mitigate the consequences of
economic globalization after the oil crisis of 1973-74; to the
Carter administration's embrace of human rights promotion as a
central task for foreign policy, Sargent explores the challenges
that afflicted US policymakers in the 1970s, offering new insights
into the complexities that emerged as the new forces of
globalization and human rights transformed the United States as a
superpower. A sweeping reinterpretation of a pivotal era, A
Superpower Transformed is a must-read for anyone interested in U.S.
foreign relations, American politics, globalization, economic
policy, human rights, and contemporary American history.
