Abstract

Abstract
 
This is a book review on Joseph S. Nye, Jr.’s latest work A Life in the American Century. On inspecting the American century, three plot lines of historical, theoretical, and personal approach compose the whole contents of this paper. In each part, both the continues and changes are detected and debated for a better understanding not only for Nye’s academic accomplishments, but also for America’s role of global leadership. Beyond the new book, the remarkable legacies, focuses, and controversies of Nye’s series books and essays on power and leadership will be necessarily cited and commented as well. Thus, this paper is a hard try to illustrate the contour of Nye’s universe of his international thoughts.
