Book CoverWhile most analyses of hegemony have focused on power, Mendelsohn firmly grounds the phenomenon in a web of shared norms and rules that both enable and constrain the hegemon's freedom of action. He examines how the presence of a hegemonic state affects international cooperation, security, and international relations-revealing, for example, why the United States has found greater cooperation for the war in Afghanistan than for the war in Iraq. Tracing and explaining the varying levels of cooperation that exist for suppressing terrorism financing, for preventing nonstate actors from obtaining weapons of mass destruction, and for offering military support to U.S. hegemony, Combating Jihadism provides a nuanced understanding of the interaction between norms and power.
