Д. А. Крячков UNIT V дабы соответствовать нынешнему раскладу сил на мировой арене. К числу постоянных чле- нов Совбеза необходимо добавить Бразилию, Германию, Индию и Японию, а также основ- ные державы мусульманского мира и африканского континента. Главными кандидатами на членство в Совет Безопасности можно считать Египет, Индонезию, Нигерию и Южную Афри- ку. Такого рода расширение Совбеза повысит доверие к ООН. Тем самым новые члены по- лучат стимул вкладывать более весомый политический капитал и ресурсы в коллективные действия. (По материалам статьи Ч. Капчана, А.

Review by Christopher Layne Texas A&M University World Out of Balance: International Relations and the Challenge of American Primacy. By Stephen G. Brooks, and William C. Wohlforth. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2008. 226 pp., $65.00 hardcover (ISBN-13: 978-0-691-12699-9). Unipolarity has preoccupied American international relations (IR) scholars, policymakers, and foreign policy analysts since the Cold War ended and the ‘‘unipolar moment’’ was proclaimed (Krauthammer 1990⁄1991) 1 . Since the Cold War’s end IR scholars of various stripes — especially balance-of-power realists — have warned that unipolarity would boomerang against the United States (Layne 1993, 2006a, b; Waltz 1993). The United States’ post-9⁄11 policies — especially the US invasion of Iraq in March 2003 — fanned these worries as scholars and policy analysts argued that ‘‘unilateralist’’ US policies were fueling a backlash against American hegemony (Ikenberry 2002; Nye 2002; Walt 2002, 2005; Pape 2005; Paul 2005). More recently, the financial and economic cri- sis that hit the US economy beginning in Fall 2007 — coupled with the rise of new great powers like China and India, and the resurgence of Russia — have raised questions about the decline of America’s relative power. These doubts found official expression in the National Intelligence Coun- cil’s (2008) Global Trends 2025 report. World Out of Balance is a forcefully argued rebuttal to arguments that American hegemony is waning and that unipolarity provokes other states to check US power. This is an important — must read — book for scholars of IR theory, security studies, and US foreign policy. Displaying a firm mastery of the various IR theory literatures, Dartmouth professors Stephen G. Brooks and William C. Wohlforth seek to refute the arguments of Waltzian realists, liberal IR theorists, neoliberal in- stitutionalists, and constructivists that ‘‘the current unipolarity is not an unalloyed benefit for the 1 The references in the review are meant to be a mere illustration; the list of literature is not provided at the end of the review. 10 |
