      title = {American grand strategy from Obama to Trump : imperialism  after Bush and China's hegemonic challenge /},
      abstract = {This book maintains that the theory of imperialism should  incorporate the concept of an operational code of political  elites to account for agencies actions. This concept would  explain the strategic continuity and tactical change in US  grand strategy from Obama to Trump. While both presidents  pursued a strategy of off-shore balancing, their competing  worldviews led to tangible differences in the way they  sought to restore American power after Bush and to contain  the rise of China. This book offers an important  contribution after the departure of Bush concluded the 21st  century debate on imperialism, at a time when an  increasingly post-American world order has undermined the  end of the state thesis. Indeed, over the last twelve years  US grand strategy has emphasized inter-state competition  rather than the annihilation of rogue regimes. These events  require renewed efforts for the theory of imperialism to  contribute to Globalisation Theory at this crucial  historical junction.},
