ANTI-AMERICANISMS IN WORLD POLITICS

Book ID/图书代码： 03360006B04996

English Summary/英文概要： Anti-Americanism has been the subject of much commentary but little serious research. In response, Peter J. Katzenstein and Robert O. Keohane have assembled a distinguished group of experts, including historians, polling-data analysts, political scientists, anthropologists, and sociologists, to explore anti-Americanism in depth, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The result is a book that probes deeply a central aspect of world politics that is frequently noted yet rarely understood.

Katzenstein and Keohane identify several quite different anti- Americanisms-liberal, social, sovereign-nationalist, and radical. Some forms of anti-Americanism respond merely to what the United States does, and could change when U.S. policies change. Other forms are reactions to what the United States is, and involve greater bias and distrust. The complexity of anti-Americanism, they argue, reflects the cultural and political complexities of American society. The analysis in this book leads to a surprising discovery: there are as many ways to be anti-American as there are ways to be American.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 反美主义在时下备受关注，但是却很少有人对此真正认真思考研究过。因此Peter和Robert两位作者集结了一组出色的能人专家包括了历史学家，选票数据分析学家，政治学家，人类学家以及社会学家，以质和量的方法来深度探究反美主义，本书从一个更深的层次出发，研究了世界政治上的一个中心问题——反美主义，它虽然频频被人提起，却很少有人真正理解。两位作者从自由，社会，主权，爱国主义，种族歧视等几个不同的方面为反美主义下定论。有些反美主义者仅仅是针对美国政府的所作所为，而且会随着美国政策的改变而改变。还有其他形势的反美主义者则是完全针对美国这个国家的，对美国存有很大的偏见与不信任。作者认为反美主义的复杂性恰恰反映了美国社会在文化，政治上的复杂性。本书所作的分析让人惊奇地发现：有多少种不同类型的美国人就会有多少种类型的反美主义。(MH)

Awards/获奖情况：“Is anti-American sentiment as rampant as it seems’ In their new edited volume, Anti- Americanisms in World Politics, international relations scholars Peter Katzenstein and Robert Keohane bring together a distinguished group of social scientists to consider how much anti-Americanism there is, and whether, in fact, anti-Americanism is any one thing at all. The plural ’anti-Americanisms’ in the book’s title reveals its core insight: Anti- Americanism is not a single, unitary phenomenon.... Too often commentators who have written on anti-Americanism make do with anecdotal evidence: The burning of an American flag, or a chilly electoral climate for politicians who are seen as kowtowing to United States interests, are taken as signs that anti-Americanism is on the rise. By contrast, most contributors to the Katzenstein and Keohane volume rely on quantitative evidence from large-scale social surveys. Two especially noteworthy findings emerge. First, fewer people around the globe hate the United States than might be imagined.... Second, in most countries, anti-Americanism involves more distrust than outright bias. The distinction is crucial. Where there is distrust, people may be skeptical of US motives and claims, but are open to considering the American point of view.” —Boston Globe

“Whereas most other books on the topic either focus on anti-Americanism in one country or analyze it as a single worldwide phenomenon, this book makes a significant contribution by explicitly comparing the intensity of anti-American views across countries and regions and by emphasizing the variety of attitudes toward America even within one society.” —Ido Oren, University of Florida
