Born on the cusp of this new era, Joseph S. Nye Jr. has spent a lifetime illuminating our understanding of the changing contours of American power and world affairs. His many books on the nature of power and political leadership have rightly earned him his reputation as one of the most influential international relations scholars in the world today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this deeply personal book, \u003ci\u003eA Life in the American Century\u003c\/i\u003e, Joseph Nye shares his own journey living through the American century. From his early years growing up on a farm in rural New Jersey to his time in the State Department, Pentagon, and Intelligence Community during the Carter and Clinton administrations, he witnessed American power up close, shaping policy on key issues such as nuclear proliferation and East Asian security.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 9\/11 drew the US into wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Nye remained an astute observer and critic of the Bush, Obama, and Trump presidencies. Today American primacy may be changing, but he concludes with a faint ray of guarded optimism about the future of his country in a richer but riskier world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlso available as an audiobook.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47423740838124,"sku":"9781509560684","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/71liRgW4GDL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774429262"},{"product_id":"is-the-american-century-over-by-joseph-s-nye-jr-9780745690070","title":"Is the American Century Over?","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more than a century, the United States has been the world's most powerful state.
