Abstract:

The Obama administration is undercutting its own ambitious agenda, by signaling that the United States has lost some of its weight in world affairs. The “post-American” rhetoric of liberal internationalists and realists is setting off a scramble for advantage among the “middle powers” of the Middle East.

Notes:

Originally a lecture delivered on November 16, 2009, to the Columbia University International Relations Forum (CUIRF).
