The Superpower Myth
ResumeIn her new book, "The Superpower Myth," she has a sharp critique of Bush's first-term embrace of what she calls the "superpower myth" — the idea that American military might can do whatever it wants wherever it chooses. But America may be on the verge of a second-term shift from enforcer to persuader once again, she points out.
Tune in for a conversation with Nancy Soderberg on "The Superpower Myth" and four more years of foreign policy from the Bush White House.
Guests:
Nancy Soderberg, senior foreign policy advisor to Bill Clinton. From 1997 to 2001, she was US ambassador to the United Nations. She is vice president at the International Crisis Group and author of the new book, "The Superpower Myth: The Use and Misuse of American Might.";
Peter Brookes, senior fellow for National Security Affairs and director of the Asian Studies Center, Brookings Institution.
