America's Strategic Choices - revised edition (International Security Readers)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
More than a decade has passed since the end of the Cold War, but the United States has yet to reach a consensus on a coherent approach to the international use of American power. The essays in this volume present contending perspectives on the future of US grand strategy. US policy options include primacy, cooperative security, selective engagement, and retrenchment. This revised edition includes additional and more recent analysis and advocacy of these options. The volume includes the Clinton administration's National Security Strategy for a New Century, the most recent official statement of American grand strategy, so readers can compare proposed strategies with the official US government position.
Card catalog description
The United States is still searching for a strategy to replace containment as the guiding principle for U.S. foreign policy. The Cold War ended years ago, but the United States has yet to reach a consensus on a coherent approach to the world of the 1990s and beyond. The essays in America's Strategic Choices present contending perspectives on the future of U.S. grand strategy. Several authors argue that the time has come for the United States to reduce its global role. Others make the case for continued U.S. diplomatic and military engagement in world affairs. The options for U.S. policy include primacy, cooperative security, selective engagement, and retrenchment. The essays in this volume analyze each of these choices and the authors spell out what is at stake in the debate.
