Description: Novak attempts to explain, critique, and ultimately displace the long-standing historiographical and theoretical tendency to view the American state as somehow "weak." He reviews the histories that have constructed and reinforced the myth of American statelessness and in- troduces the key texts in an emerging historical revision. Given present-day realities as well as a new generation of work on American state power, nationally as well as internationally, the article argues for a new historical appreciation of the rise of a global hegemon.
