A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the second edition of this highly regarded core text, Steven W. Hook provides an in-depth, yet concise overview of U.S. foreign policy, a process that is shaped by a paradox: the very sources of national strength a sense of national exceptionalism, a diffusion of political powers, a dynamic civil society, and a globalized market economy also create vulnerabilities for the United States. In a world where the lines between domestic and foreign-policy concerns are increasingly blurred, where more individuals and groups engage in the policy process, and where newly empowered regimes and non-state actors abroad mobilize against the unipolar world order, U.S. foreign policymakers face unprecedented challenges and dangers. Neatly presented in twelve chapters, U.S. Foreign Policy provides a road map for grasping the complexity of the decision-making process while offering a firm grounding in the key institutions, actors, and issues. This new edition features crucial updates and reorganization, including: stand-alone chapters on public opinion and the news media a restructured chapter on interest groups that emphasizes the impact of social movements and multinational corporations extended discussions of presidential powers, judicial rulings, and intelligence gathering, and new sections on energy dependence, immigration, and other intermestic issues. An array of features aid student learning--from a full-color set of updated maps that show multilateral alliances, U.S. interventions, and trade relations, to a wealth of figures, tables, photos, highlighted key terms, and a glossary.
