Hegemony and Democracy is constructed around the question of
whether hegemony is sustainable, especially when the hegemon is a
democratic state. The book draws on earlier publications over Bruce
Russett's long career and features new chapters that show the
continuing relevance of his scholarship. In examining hegemony
during and after the Cold War, it addresses: * The importance of
domestic politics in the formulation of foreign policy; * The
benefits and costs of seeking security through military power at
the expense of expanding networks of shared national and
transnational institutions; * The incentives of other states to
bandwagon with a strong but unthreatening hegemon and 'free-ride'
on benefits it may provide rather than to balance against a
powerful hegemon. * The degree to which hegemony and democracy
undermine or support each other. By applying theories of collective
action and foreign policy, Russett explores the development of
American hegemony and the prospects for a democratic hegemon to
retain its influence during the coming decades. This collection is
an essential volume for students and scholars of International
Relations, American Politics, and US Foreign Policy.
