Samenvatting:

This book explores the idea of American Exceptionalism through history, politics, and global relations. Ghazanfar Hashmi critically examines whether the United States is truly unique or if its belief in superiority is more myth than reality. Drawing on historical examples, U.S. foreign policy, constitutionalism, nationalism, and modern socio-political challenges, the book analyzes how American Exceptionalism has shaped not only the country's self-image but also its role in the world. The author, having experienced perspectives from both Pakistan and the United States, provides a balanced and thought-provoking critique of how myths of exceptionalism continue to influence America's domestic and international trajectory.
