These essays focus on power transition and U.S. national interests, with an emphasis on the relationship between soft power and hard power. They explore issues such as realism and liberalism, power and interdependence, globalization and global governance, forming a central thread for understanding U.S. international strategy. The book also includes the article "International Regimes and U.S. Hegemony," written by Dr. Men Honghua, as a response from Chinese scholars to Joseph Nye's academic research. This book is a culmination of decades of academic research by Professor Joseph Nye, representing the theoretical reflections of U.S. international relations scholars on power transition and the reflection of the U.S. academic community on the history of international relations research. It is a powerful work for studying world politics in the global information age.
