This essay is one of ten in a special journal issue discussing a 2002 article, "Power and Weakness" by Robert Kagan, which assessed the structural underpinnings of foreign relations between the United States and Europe. Kagan's observations formed a double argument: First, that the relative power of the United States and the relative weakness of Europe frame the way Americans and Europeans approach international politics; and second, that ideas about the efficacy of power also shape the extent to which one pursues and uses it.
