商品簡介
American foreign policy is beset by problems that go beyond the activities of one warns Wiarda (international relations, U. of Georgia). These problem are rooted in partisan divisions, divisions among the various foreign policy institutions, the increased importance of interest groups in the foreign policy process, and a general American myopia when it comes to the wider world. After describing the institutional workings of American foreign policy, he looks at the problematic workings of US foreign policy as it relates to democratization, human rights, relationships with "friendly tyrants," and globalization. Finally, he elaborates on how the problems he has identified with American foreign policy have played out in the regional cases of Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East.
