Political Science

The only text in the market to include all three major areas of coverage in the typical American Foreign Policy course–history, process, and current policy issues–this is a highly accessible, up-to-date introduction written with a deep understanding of history and thorough attention to today's changing world.

For the first time, the three major area of the typical American Foreign Policy course are now given indepth coverage in a single book. American Foreign Policy: History, Politics, and Policy comprehensively presents: 1) the background and history of U.S. foreign policy as far back as the 18th century; 2) the politics and processes of U.S. foreign policy formulation; and 3) analyses of current foreign policy issues. Providing sufficient depth for understanding but avoiding unnecessary jargon, this is an engaging, straightforward text written specifically for undergraduates. Abounding with real-world case examples, brimming with historical context, and offering up-to-date coverage of contemporary topics, this text is sure to engage student interest and give them the tools they need to examine and evaluate American foreign policy.

• Uses “levels of analysis” (individual, national, international) as a conceptual framework throughout the text, helping students understand that, no matter what topic is being studied, all aspects of foreign policy can and should be viewed from multiple perspectives.
• Employs three “unifying concepts” (missions, interests, and principles) throughout the text to link topics and give students the understanding that American foreign policy has always (1) been filled with a “sense of mission,” (2) pursue a set of “national interests” and (3) claimed to be based on a “set of principles.”
• Integrates three competing themes that have played and will continue to play a prominent role in American foreign policy: realism vs. idealism, isolationism vs. involvement, unilateralism vs. multilateralism.
• Includes chapters and case studies on four major U.S. foreign policy issue-areas: defending the homeland, economics and foreign policy, military intervention overseas, and human rights and democratization.
• Provides the strongest historical coverage of U.S. foreign policy on the market. The text explores the roots of U.S. foreign policy back to the 18th Century, giving students a deeper appreciation for where we came from and why we conduct policy as we do today.
• Provides readers with a solid grasp of the internal and external policy issues that confront today's U.S. foreign policy planners, decision-makers, and practitioners.
• Juxtaposes current issues and concerns with history to provide analytical depth to current issues and concerns.
