U.S. Foreign Policy 2nd (second) Edition by Cox, Michael, Stokes, Doug [2012]

by Michael Cox

This study looks closely at the attempts to resolve the dilemmas now confronting American policy-makers and the need for the US to balance national interests against global responsibilities as the world's only superpower. The emphasis on trade and the vital need to improve American performance in international trade for domestic reasons is placed against new sets of problems for international security. The role of key institutions such as the United Nations, the present round of GATT negotiations and the dangers of protectionism developing from new groupings of economic blocs are also examined.

[Utopia · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book has several authors with a daring and interesting view of US's foreign policy and changed my perception of it and particularly about why and how would the US's foreign policy become in the next decade.

But most of them are very conventional and we learn nothing very new from them. In addition, there are a lot of repetitions between different authors who all try to present the same theory in a different way of writing. Thus, it can be very boring. Also, I think each author has a quota of how much they can write and so, sometimes they do not explain very clearly everything and it can be a bit frustrating.

However, I recommend this book for all students studying international relations in order to get a general view of US's foreign policy!!!
