Full Description


For courses in foreign policy.This introductory text provides the historical background necessary for students to understand contemporary and future American foreign policies. It discusses American foreign policy since 1945 in several broad areas: defense policies; economic policy and trade; the ethical dimensions of human rights and environmental politics; and US policy toward the Third World. The text uses an historical approach rather than theoretical or policymaking approaches to give students an understanding of how post-Cold War policy has evolved from the structural constraints of the Cold War era.
