Rezensionen

"This book is indispensable reading for understanding the dynamics of US foreign policy in an era of polarization within American society. It is also a major contribution to the latest scholarship applying role theory to the study of foreign policy and international relations."

Stephen Walker, Arizona State University

"A great contribution to the role theory literature in that it connects domestic processes of role contestation and political polarization with the ability of the United States to perform its role as global leader."

Klaus Brummer, Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Germany

"Scholars have been studying the causes and consequences of party polarization within American political institutions for years. U.S. Global Leadership and Domestic Polarization takes those learned lessons and applies them to American leadership abroad. Friedrichs provides real insight through a rich and multi-method approach. The inevitable conclusion the reader reaches from this important study is that the consequences of polarization may be even greater on the world stage than they have been in the domestic realm."
