About the Book

How to Be a Superpower focuses on the role and self-perception of public intellectuals in 21st-century America. Drawing on a series of interviews conducted with the most prominent ‘professional thinkers’ in the field of foreign policy since 9/11, from Noam Chomsky via Francis Fukuyama to Michael Walzer. With his fascinating interviews, Tobias Endler illustrates how intellectuals inspire, influence, and participate in the nation’s current public discourse and opinion-shaping process. This unique and insightful book explores the role and self-perception of 21st-century American intellectuals. Challenging the idea that intellectuals are becoming increasingly irrelevant, this book argues that they have managed to stake out a significant role in present society. Accelerated and intensified by the events of September 11, renowned experts in the field of foreign policy such as Zbigniew Brzezinski, Noam Chomsky, Francis Fukuyama, Anne-Marie Slaughter, and Michael Walzer have engaged in a vibrant public political debate on the global status of the United States – and very successfully so.

About the Author :
Dr. Tobias Endler is a Research Associate and Ph.D. & Research Coordinator at the Heidelberg Center for American Studies, Germany.

Review :
Die Analyse des Autors ist eindringlich, quellennah, aber gleichzeitig ungemein dicht, so daß sich eine knappe Inhaltsangabe verbietet. Das Historisch-Politische Buch 4/2015 Endler beobachtet nicht nur die gegenwärtige öffentliche Debatte in den USA, sondern führte auch Interviews mit bedeutenden US?amerikanischen Intellektuellen. Auf diese Weise gelingt es ihm, die repräsentative Haltung der verschiedenen ideologischen Richtungen herauszuarbeiten ebenso wie innere Widersprüche aufzudecken. pw-portal, 07.05.2015 The discussion and enlightening perspectives marshaled within this book make it an attractive work to thinkers within and beyond the United States so as to make it not only relevant to the discourses taking place in other societies, but also renders the exploration within very much timely and a piece on which members of academic and non-academic circles alike might easily fall in the future. Central European University Political Science Journal 3/2014
