Book Description
America's foreign relations tradition, for all its successes, has not always served the American people well. Utilizing tradition as a framework of analysis of the historic American approach to foreign affairs, this book critically examines the country's international conduct over time, leading to a number of provocative and controversial conclusions. The first section deals with ideas, ideals, and ideology in American history that provide a context and value structure that have long conditioned the American people's conception of the world. The second part critically examines the problematic American national style of interacting with others. The nation's parochial approach to problem-solving is explicated in the third section. The fourth part centers upon the country's historic isolationist-interventionist impulse--a two-sided, often contradictory dynamic. The fifth section is an extended analysis of the country's approach to alliance-building after World War II as a case study of its approach to foreign affairs in the past. The final section proposes that America's traditional values and decision-making style have often been incompatible, and this contradiction has brought forth the exorcising role of violence in American's relationships with others.

Explaining the History of American Foreign Relations
Author: Michael J. Hogan
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521540353
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Originally published in 1991, Explaining the History of American Foreign Relations has become an indispensable volume not only for teachers and students in international history and political science, but also for general readers seeking an introduction to American diplomatic history. This collection of essays highlights a variety of newer, innovative, and stimulating conceptual approaches and analytical methods used to study the history of American foreign relations, including bureaucratic, dependency, and world systems theories, corporatist and national security models, psychology, culture, and ideology. Along with substantially revised essays from the first edition, this volume presents entirely new material on postcolonial theory, borderlands history, modernization theory, gender, race, memory, cultural transfer, and critical theory. The book seeks to define the study of American international history, stimulate research in fresh directions, and encourage cross-disciplinary thinking, especially between diplomatic history and other fields of American history, in an increasingly transnational, globalizing world.

The American Approach to Foreign Policy
Author: Cecil V. Crabb (Jr.)
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
This is the second volume in a series which will examine the credibility of U.S. institutions, policies and leadership. The series is being brought out by the White Burket Miller Center of Public Affairs through the assistance of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. The main theme of Professor Crabb's study of pragmatism is that the credibility of philosophies of politics and foreign policies rests on their intellectual foundations. However, the public's acceptance of a philosophy depends on its ability to understand its assumptions and tenets. A philosophy may be sound intellectually but lacking in public understanding and comprehension. ISBN 0-8191-4423-1: $16.50.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
US Foreign Policy in World History is a survey of US foreign relations and its perceived crusade to spread liberty and democracy in the two hundred years since the American Revolution.

Routledge Handbook of American Foreign Policy
Author: Steven W. Hook
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135967342
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 685
Book Description
No nation has maintained such an immense stature in world politics as the United States has since the Cold War’s end. In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, prompting the global war on terrorism and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, along with American economic and "soft power" primacy, there has been increased interest in and scrutiny of American foreign policy. The Routledge Handbook of American Foreign Policy brings together leading experts in the field to examine current trends in the way scholars study the history and theories of American conduct in the world, analysis of state and non-state actors and their tools in conducting policy, and the dynamics of a variety of pressing transnational challenges facing the United States. This volume provides a systematic overview of all aspects of American foreign policy and drives the agenda for further, cutting edge research. Contributors bring analytic depth and breadth to both the ways in which this subject is approached and the substance of policy formulation and process. The Handbook is an invaluable resource to students, researchers, scholars, and journalists trying to make sense of the broader debates in international relations.
