The notion of an American Century has fallen out of favor in recent
years historians prefer to focus on the United States as part of a
transatlantic community. The contributors to this volume edited by
R. Laurence Moore and Maurizio Vaudagna seek to understand how the
exercise of American power was in crucial ways shaped and limited
by the historic ties of the United States to Europe. They evaluate
the impact of the "American Century" (as publisher Henry R. Luce
named it in 1941) from Woodrow Wilson's dream of a new world order,
to Cold War economic policies, to more recent American cultural
imperialism and its immediate descendent, American-led
globalization.The American Century in Europe gathers an
international group of scholars who explore the ways
twentieth-century American power (diplomatic, cultural, and
economic) has been felt across the Atlantic. The authors
demonstrate that the American Century was marked less by American
hegemony than by reciprocal influence between the United States and
Europe. The scale of American wealth certainly guaranteed influence
abroad, but as the essays demonstrate, the American thirst for
trade just as surely opened America's borders to cultures from
around the world."
