The papers assembled in this book originated from, and span, the recent decades of intensive economic globalization and international interaction-up to the present period of the commercialized, digital world-accompanied by American and international crisis. High hopes of the benefits of trade expansion, international cooperation, growing prosperity and a "rules-based" international order have given way to the unpredictable contingencies of human action and history, pandemics, severe economic and social dislocations, domestic division, frequent political dysfunction and growing threats of intensified international conflict. This book places contemporary problems of American democracy and the threat of authoritarian systems within the context of the success and failures of American history, problems of moral authority in American society and the need for political and moral balance in the US constitutional system.
