Anti-Americanism and the rise of world opinion -- A neoliberal theory of soft balancing -- The decline of America's soft power in the United Nations -- Global consumption of brand America -- Bush's war -- The Obama effect -- Conclusions and next steps.
Summary:
"This book directly examines pro- and anti-American views and asks what we can learn about the nature and impact of world opinion. By treating anti-Americanism as a case study of public opinion at work, Professor Datta reveals how we can better understand the relationship between global citizens and their political leaders, and concludes that anti-Americanism does in fact substantially impact US security, as well as its economic and political interests."--Publishers website
