Charting a New Diplomatic Course: Alternative Approaches to America’s Post-Cold War Foreign Policy

The authors of Charting a New Diplomatic Course identify and analyze distinct approaches to America’s diplomatic course after the Cold War. They anchor their analysis of recent American foreign policy in traditional principals and political debates-isolationism vs. interventionism and liberalism vs. conservatism. The policies studied here help clarify most of the positions advocated by governmental officials, informed students of global affairs, members of the news media, and ordinary citizens.
