Beyond Anti-Americanism
The Case for Criticism not Prejudice
Brendon O’Connor, Griffith University, Australia
Beyond Anti-Americanism presents a case for seeing
anti-Americanism as principally a counterproductive
prejudice. Brendon O’Connor argues that while there are
many reasons to be frustrated with American policies,
politics and even American society, a crucial distinction
should be drawn between criticism and prejudice.

Soft Power and
US Foreign Policy
Theoretical, Historical and Contemporary
Perspectives
Edited by Inderjeet Parmar, University of
Manchester, UK and Michael Cox
The rise of widespread negative
attitudes towards US foreign
policy, especially due to the
war of aggression against Iraq
and the subsequent military
occupation of the country –
has brought new attention to
the meaning and instruments
of soft power. In this edited
collection, an outstanding line
up of contributors provides the
most extensive discussion of
soft power to date.
Soft Power has become part of popular political discourse
since it was coined by Harvard’s Joseph Nye, and this
volume features a brand new chapter by Nye outlining his
views on soft, hard and smart power and offers a critique
of the Bush administration’s inadequacies. He then goes
on to examine the challenges for the incoming US
president. The other contributions to the volume respond
to Nye’s views from a range of theoretical, historical and
policy perspectives giving new insights in to both soft
power and the concept of power itself.
