41、cent unilateral impulses in U. S. foreign policy. According to Barber, empire is not inherent in U.S. dominance but is, rather, a temptationone to which the Bush administration has increasingly succumbed. In confronting terror- ism, Washington has vacillated between appealing to law and undermining
42、it. Barbers thesis is that by invoking a right to unilateral action, preventive war, and regime change, the United States has undermined the very framework of cooperation and law that is necessary to fight terrorist anarchy. A foreign policy oriented around the use of military force against rogue st

Washington cannot run a global order driven by military action and the fear of terrorism. Simply put, American empire is not sustainable.For Barber, the logic of globalizati
44、on trumps the logic of empire: the spread of Mc World under- mines imperial grand strategy. In most aspects of economic and political life, the United States depends heavily on other states. In an empire of fear, the United States attempts to order the world through force of arms. But this strategy
45、is self-defeating: it creates hostile states bent on overturning the imperial order, not obedient junior partners.Barber proposes instead a cosmopolitan order of universal law rooted in human community: “Lex humana works for global comity within the framework of universal rights and law, conferred b
46、y multilateral political, economic, and cultural cooperationwith only as much common military action as can be authorized by common legal authority; whether in the Congress, in multilateral treaties, or through the United Nations.“ Terrorist threats, Barber concludes, are best confronted with a strategy of “preventive democracy“democratic states working together to strengthen and extend liberalism.Barbers overly idealized vision of cosmopolitan global governance is less convincing, however, than his warnings about unilateral military rule. Indeed, he provides a useful cautionary note f
