内容説明

Thoroughly updated to reflect recent developments, the third edition of "American Foreign Policy" addresses the most pressing foreign policy issues of this global era: how should the United States wield its power, pursue peace, be true to its principles and work with the international community? "American Foreign Policy" helps students approach these issues by applying a consistent critical framework throughout the book, emphasising both the strategic and the political aspects of foreign policy decision-making. With new readings and pedagogy in the book and a new website for study and review, this new edition is an unparalleled introduction to US foreign policy amid the challenges of terrorism, postwar Iraq, the Darfur crisis, globalisation, democratisation and other timely issues.The most current foreign policy textbook in the field, "American Foreign Policy" contains a unique chapter on genocide and humanitarian intervention providing the most extensive coverage of the post-Cold War era available. The book offers a brief coverage of relevant history followed by detailed, accessible discussions of contemporary issues. With its student-friendly approach, it makes foreign policy concepts accessible. To help students to grasp the different schools of thought that develop over foreign policy issues, Professor Jentleson develops a rubric of "power, peace, prosperity and principles". He examines how different approaches give different weights to these four goals and by doing so gives students a learning aide to help them as they study the myriad foreign policy debates of our time.In this textbook and reader in one, Professor Jentleson has incorporated an entire foreign policy reader into the body of the book. Striking a balance between classic and current issues in foreign policy, these selections include writings by major political figures (Henry Kissinger, Mikhail Gorbachev, Kofi Annan) as well as scholars (John Ikenbury, Walter LaFeber and Samuel Huntington).
