They tackle a range of topics first addressed in Etzioni's treatise From Empire to Community: A New Approach to International Relations, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvaluating the European Union as a test case for communitarianism (Goldgeier) \n\u003cbr\u003eHow communitarianism predicts that U.S. hegemony will be transcended and how this fits in with the U.S.', particularly the Bush administration's, grand strategy (Hentz) \n\u003cbr\u003eDoes Etizioni's nationalistic approach to U.S. foreign policy negate communitarianism's ethical problem-solving framework?
