Summary:A central paradox of Amitai Etzioni's From Empire to Community: A New Approach to International Relations relates to how U.S. hegemony, or semi-empire, will be transcended. The United States is expected to use its hegemony to create a new world order that will transcend that hegemony & concomitantly hasten the end of the unipolar moment in international politics. How does this fit with U.S. grand strategy, in particular that of the Bush administration? And is there a place for Africa in this strategy & in the communitarian project? The answer to these questions largely rests in the relationship between U.S. foreign policy & the push & pull of domestic politics. References.
