Debating a Post-American World - a book by Sabrina Hoque and Sean Clark (with a chapter of mine)

Just received from one of the organizers:

Good evening Dr. Almeida,

Good news! After much anticipation, our book, 'What Lies Ahead', is due to publish in the UK on 7th December, and you should be receiving a copy of the book within 3 weeks after that (Christmas post allowing). The American publication date is not yet finalised but will be around 6 weeks subsequent to the UK date, simply because of the 
time taken to physically transport the bulk of books.

A link to the product page for our book which you can forward to anyone who might be interested in learning more about it is: http://www.routledge.com/9780415690553

I have provided further details below on what steps the publishers are currently taking to effectively market our book. We would greatly appreciate it if you'd also be able to promote the book in any way you deem appropriate.

Sean and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your contributions, and for being such a big part of this project. It was an immense pleasure to work with you. We could not have pulled this major book project without your support, timely submissions, and steady encouragement. We now look forward to your thoughts and feedback on the end product!

Should you have any questions or concerns, or further suggestions on how we may do more to market the book, please do not hesitate to contact me at shoque@xxxx.xx. I look forward to continued correspondence with you.

Sincerely,
Sabrina Hoque

Debating a Post-American World: What Lies Ahead (Routledge, 2011)

Just Published: http://www.routledge.com/9780415690553

Debating a Post-American World

What Lies Ahead?

Edited by Sean Clark, Sabrina Hoque

To Be Published December 8th 2011 by Routledge – 316 pages

Series: Security and Governance

Description:

The United States is currently the linchpin of global trade, technology, and finance, and a military colossus, extending across the world with a network of bases and alliances. This book anticipates the possible issues raised by a transition between American dominance and the rise of alternative powers.

While a ‘post-American’ world need not be any different than that of today, the risk associated with such a change provides ample reason for attentive study. Divided into four parts, 50 international relations scholars explore and discuss:

• Power Transitions: addressing issues including the rise of China; the passing of American primacy and the endurance of American leadership.
• War and Peace: addressing nuclear weapons; the risk of war; security privatization and global insecurity
• Global Governance: addressing competition, trade, the UN, sovereignty, humanitarian intervention, law and power.
• Energy and the Environment: addressing resource conflict, petrol, climate change and technology.

This unique project offers a compilation of disparate arguments by scholars and policy practitioners, encompassing a plurality of disciplines and theoretical perspectives. By providing clarity and focus to this essential debate on the future of the world in the next several decades,Debating a Post-American World will be of interest to students and scholars of International Relations and global politics, American politics, US Foreign policy and International Security.
