• This article seeks to re-appraise the transformation of America's international role and its influence on the transformation of the 20th century's global order. It focuses on a re-appraisal of US aspirations to construct a "Pax Americana" and their impact on an unprecedented peace system that was first conceptualised after 1918 but only consolidated after 1945: the cold war's transatlantic peace order. Yet my analysis also highlights important distinctions between American conceptions and behaviour vis-a-vis Europe and the superpower's more hierarchical and often neo-imperialist approaches to "global order" and other regions during the cold war, including East Asia and Latin America. Keywords: Pax Americana; global order; 20th-century international history; transatlantic peace system.
