Abstract
This chapter explores these shifting dynamics between the national and the global by focusing on recent attempts made by a number of US neoconservative thinkers and policy-makers to solve the paradox by universalizing 'America'. However, unlike the old-style conservative defenders of 'national interests' who tend to support globalization only when it benefits their country, these neo-conservative champions of 'democratic globalism' maintain that the paradox of a globalizing nation only exists as long as old conceptual and geographical maps associated with the cold war continue to dominate the minds of the American political elite.
