After Hegemony: Cooperation and Discord in the World Political Economy Review: Informative! - Very interesting and informative read. Recommended for anyone interested in International Relations, no matter your viewpoints. Review: A roadmap for the post hegemonic world - This book makes a persuasive case for continuing to invest in American liberal order institutions such as the IMF and the WTO, even though the world has become multilateral. Strategic cooperation continues to be reward reaped by those willing to abide by the political and monetary regimes that benefit advanced industrial nations. The alternative is anarchy and Leonard argues for a mix of realism and rational egoism. I heard Kissinger's voice in this neo-Realpolitik understanding of where opportunity lies in this populist raging, protectionist leaning broken world. Coercive cooperation might still be the answer. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #393,310 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #272 in Political Economy #2,403 in International & World Politics (Books) #2,876 in Economics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (59) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.75 x 9 inches | | Edition | Revised | | ISBN-10 | 0691122482 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0691122489 | | Item Weight | 15 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | March 20, 2005 | | Publisher | Princeton University Press | ## Images ![After Hegemony: Cooperation and Discord in the World Political Economy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NVlNLSOhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Informative! *by S***O on December 3, 2024* Very interesting and informative read.

His book is a product of its time, written on the verge of perestroika in the Soviet Union and at a point in which scholars were questioning American's role in global leadership and its related position that dominated international institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and the global energy market after the Second World War. Could American hegemony prevail in the free world? How would that dynamic change after the end of the Cold War? Keohane tackled the first question by analyzing historical patterns leading to the international situation, while employing a light touch of empirical exposition to keep the book digestible not just for scholars and students, but also for the interested public. The second question was unthinkable at the time of publication, a fact he acknowledged in the preface of the 2005 edition to the text. Other influential political scientists made similar notes in later editions of their seminal works, including Samuel Huntington's "The Soldier and the State" (1957/1981), Kenneth Walt'z "Man, the State, and War" (1959/2001) and Edward Luttwak's "Coup d'État" (1968/2016). In the preface to his 2005 edition, Keohane notes the influence of the changing times upon the shape of the arguments his book seeks to present. However, he notes that the basic foundations of these arguments remain relevant. This is especially true as the United States managed to carve out a new form of hegemony for itself somewhere between the uncertain unipolar period after the Cold War's end and the beginning of the Global War on Terror that would set new structures of power dynamics in motion. Keohane's basic outline of the interaction between individual financial interests and state-level power consolidation endures. He leaves it to the next generation to answer how the American power dynamic will change. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4202600-after-hegemony-cooperation-and-discord-in-the-world-political-economy](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4202600-after-hegemony-cooperation-and-discord-in-the-world-political-economy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
