And yet, since the end of World War II, the United States has integrated elements of both in the process of becoming a dominant global power. \u003ci\u003eDemocratic Empire: The United States Since 1945\u003c\/i\u003e explores the way democracy and empire have converged and been challenged both at home and abroad, surveying the nation’s recent cultural, political and economic history.
