About this title

Synopsis

Unlike other books on U.S. foreign policy making, this highly regarded text by James Nathan and James Oliver focuses on the institutional context of policy making and the processes that take place within it. This thoroughly revised third edition takes particular note of the events that have shaped the world and U.S. foreign policy since 1989.

Review

"A superior eclectic blend of several theories of American behaviorin an effort to `understand the American image of international reality' since 1945." -- Foreign Affairs.

"The authors skillfully utilize several methods of analysis... to support their thesis that American foreign policy has been aggressive and reckless." -- Historian.
