U.S. Foreign Policy Interactive eBook

Résumé du livre

The United States faces growing challenges to its primacy in the global balance of power. The very factors that have given rise to its dominance—a sense of exceptionalism, the sharing and fragmentation of political power, and the engagement of civil society in the foreign policy process—also create vulnerabilities for the country. Fast-moving developments overseas, meanwhile, won't wait for U.S. leaders to adopt perfect foreign policy strategies. The fourth edition of Steven W. Hook's U.S. Foreign Policy: The Paradox of World Power provides students with a concise and accessible overview of this foreign policy paradox, and highlights the challenges facing policy makers. Instructors and students will appreciate the book's new full-color interior, expanded graphics program with new and thoroughly updated tables, figures, maps and feature boxes, and end-of-chapter resources for further review and study.
