The CERI Series in International Relations andPolitical EconomySeries Editor, Christophe JaffrelotThis series consists of works emanating from the foremost French research center ininternational studies, the Paris-based Centre dEtudes et de Recherches Internationales(CERI), part of Sciences Po and associated with CNRS (Centre National de laRecherche Scientifique).Founded in 1952, CERI has about sixty fellows drawn from different disciplines whoconduct research on comparative political analysis, international relations, regionalism,transnational flows, political sociology, political economy and on individual states.This series focuses on the transformations of the international arena, in a world wherethe state, though its sovereignty is questioned, reinvents itself. The series explores theeffects on international relations and the world economy of regionalization, globalization(not only of trade and finance but also of culture), and transnational flows at large.Thisevolution in world affairs sustains a variety of networks from the ideological to the crim-inal or terrorist. Besides the geopolitical transformations of the globalized planet, the newpolitical economy of the world has a decided impact on its destiny as well, and this serieshopes to uncover what that is.Published by Palgrave Macmillan:Politics In China: Moving Frontiersedited by Franoise Mengin and Jean-Louis RoccaTropical Forests, International Jungle:The Underside of Global Ecopoliticsby Marie-Claude Smouts, translated by Cynthia SchochThe Political Economy of Emerging Markets:Actors, Institutions and Financial Crises inLatin Americaby Javier SantisoCyber China: Reshaping National Identities in the Age of Informationedited by Franoise MenginWith Us or Against Us: Studies in Global Anti-Americanismedited by Tony Judt and Denis Lacorne

A cknowledgmentsOur primary purpose in publishing this volumederived from aconference jointly organized by the Remarque Institute and the ParisCenter for the Study of International Relations (CERI), held in Parisin the Fall of 2002is to describe the complexity of anti-Americansentiment in six distinct parts of the world: Western and EasternEurope, Russia, the Middle-East, and Central and Southeast Asia.Publication of the conference proceedings was delayed in order toallow all the contributors to update their essays after the Americaninvasion of Iraq. The case studies in this volume were selected topresent a comprehensive understanding of Western and non-Westernperceptions of the United States since the second World War.*We would like to thank Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, Ali Buzurukov,Christophe Jaffrelot, Ivan Krastev, Zaki Ladi, Philippe Roger, andOlivier Roy for acting as participants and discussants at the conference.Their insightful comments were particularly helpful to the authors inpreparing the present volume.This project would not have been possible without the generoushelp of the German Marshall Fund of the United States.* Some contributors have chosen to cover a longer historical period, starting eitherwith the very foundation of the United States or with the first U.S. settlements in Asia.See chapters 10 and 11. For practical reasons, we were not able to include LatinAmerican countries, India, China, and Japan among our case studies.
