| Summary/Abstract |
Why did America invade Iraq? The glib answer is "because it could." In the unipolar moment the immediate costs and risks
of using military force against Saddam Hussein's hollow, troublesome regime seemed low to U.S. leaders.

| Summary/Abstract |
To say that the world is now unipolar is neither to praise American power, let alone its leadership, nor to accuse the United States of having established a worldwide empire. It is to state a fact, but one whose meaning is far from clear, as we have neither a powerful theory nor much evidence about how unipolar systems operate.

| Summary/Abstract |
Does unipolarity promote peace among major powers? Would the return of multipolarity increase the prospects for war? Although unipolarity has been marked by very low levels of militarized competition among major power, many scholars doubt whether the association is causal.
