Review:

'This book draws from a unique combination of history, political science and international relations theories to provide a solid understanding of how US foreign policy has evolved through the past two centuries. The authoritative and well-researched chapters highlight how this evolution shapes the choices available to US foreign policymakers today. Overall, this is a very useful and welcome contribution to the literature.' James Forest, US Military Academy, West Point, USA 'Robert Pauly has compiled an insightful and informative volume. The Ashgate Research Companion to US Foreign Policy is an important contribution to understanding American foreign policy in the modern era. The assembled authors successfully examine foreign policy as a function of American politics and American interests, as well as a significant consideration of the impact American policy has had in regions around the globe. Notable contributions include Dr Brian Anderson's chapter on American foreign policy in the post-Cold War Years and Pauly's work on post-9/11 policy. Taken together the chapters provide a firm foundation for understanding American foreign policy as it shifts from confronting communism to fighting a more illusive enemy in the shape of global terrorism.'
