Abstract

In the preface to this collection of eight essays, Daniel Benjamin observes that in the immediate aftermath of the September 11th terror attacks, the nations of the world, to a large extent, allied with the United States towards the principals of, and need for, a global war on terror. But as the processes of this war began to expose the absolutes of an us-verses-them posture in Washington, these nations ``...began to join together, building coalitions to balance against the world's only superpower. Restraining the American Gulliver, it appeared, had become the common end to many." (ix). Towards understanding the longer term effects of these shifting alliances over the preceding six years, the Center for Strategic and International Studies initiated a one-year study of the changes in ``competition and cooperation" between the United States and select nations: China, Georgia, Germany, Indonesia, Pakistan, the Russian Federation and Saudi Arabia.
