Their choices proved to be of enormous consequence for the development of American foreign policy in the final decades of the twentieth century and beyond.  In A Superpower Transformed, historian Daniel J. Sargent chronicles how policymakers across three administrations worked to manage complex international changes in a tumultuous era. Drawing on many newly-released archival documents and interviews with key figures, including President Jimmy Carter and Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski, Sargent explores the collision of geopolitics and globalization that pervaded the decade. From the Nixon administration's efforts to stabilize a faltering Pax Americana; to Henry Kissinger's attempts to devise new strategies to manage or mitigate the consequences of economic globalization after the oil crisis of 1973-74; to the Carter administration's embrace of human rights promotion as a central task for foreign policy, Sargent explores the challenges that afflicted US policymakers in the 1970s, offering new insights into the complexities that emerged as the new forces of globalization and human rights transformed the United States as a superpower. A sweeping reinterpretation of a pivotal era, A Superpower Transformed is a must-read for anyone interested in U.S. foreign relations, American politics, globalization, economic policy, human rights, and contemporary American history"--cProvided by publisher. 0aPresidentszUnited StatesxHistoryy20th century. 4aPresidentes zEstados Unidos 0aStatesmenzUnited StatesxHistoryy20th century. 4aEstadistaszEstados UnidosxHistoriaySiglo XX 0aGreat powersxHistoryy20th century. 4aGrandes potenciasxHistoriaySiglo XX 0aGeopoliticsxHistoryy20th century. 4aGeopolíticaxHistoriaySiglo XX 0aCold War. 4aGuerra fría 0aWorld politicsy1945-1989. 4aPolitica mundialy1945-1989 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsy1969-1974. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsy1974-1977. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsy1977-1981. 0aUnited StatesxForeign relationsxDecision making. 4aEstados Unidos xRelaciones exteriores 4aEstados UnidosxRelaciones exteriores
