Review

'Has much to offer analytically...the discussion is lively and accessible, and it would make interesting reading not only for students of American politics but also those interested in the broad discussions around globalization. The empirical scope is vast, essentially attempting to identify the sites of American power across the world...Empire with Imperialism presents an engaging argument about the role of the American imperial state.' - Political Studies Review
