Anti-Americanism as a concept is confused, often used in a
contradictory fashion and invariably driven by emotion rather than
intellect. Nevertheless, it casts a long policy shadow with adverse
consequences (both real and potential) for actors including those
who may not support the concept. This book puts anti-Americanism
into a contemporary context and analyses some of its political
consequences. The argument of the book is that ideas matter: they
shape actions and have policy consequences. With the case of
anti-Americanism, even superficial ideas can reflect deep seated
emotions that might, at first sight, appear real. These can range
from the rhetorical flourish and smart comment occasioned by a
presidential gaucherie through to a deep embedded, visceral hatred
of all things American. The contributors to this volume discern the
difference between these two ends of the anti-American spectrum and
assess the varying degree of 'political consequence'. Divided into
three parts, items addressed include: Networks, culture and
foundations consisting of the role of influential foundations and
think tanks in combating anti-Americanism, and the link between the
political establishment in Washington D.C. and the popular culture
industry Security and Anti-Americanism Regional and country
Studies, including Canada, Australia, East Asia, Latin America,
Greece and France. The Political Consequences of Anti-Americanism
will be of interest to students and scholars of politics,
international relations, security studies, American politics and
American foreign policy.
