Some categorizations of US power have long governed analyses of American foreign policy - concepts such as "empire, "decline," "superpower," "the Cold War" and "the War on Terror' - and have led to a distortion that sees US policy measured by broad labels, rather than on its own terms. This fresh new approach seeks to challenge these terms.
