Abstract

From one of our most brilliant and original writers on U.S. foreign policy, a stunning and timely book on the policy of the Bush administration and its current grand strategy for the world. Mead begins by analyzing America's historical approach to the world& by no means perfect, but reasonably moral and reasonably practical on the whole. Then he examines the explosive foreign policy of the Bush administration and the uproar it has caused at home and abroad. Bush, according to Mead, is often strategically right but tactically at fault in his attempts to lead a divided nation& and a divided coalition of allies& in a dangerous struggle against ruthless enemies. We see how the mass terror attacks of 2001 have changed the political and strategic problems of American foreign policy. Despair and decay in the Arab world now present America and its allies with an extraordinarily difficult challenge. The accelerating collapse of civilized life in broad reaches of Africa& and the looming disasters of a similar kind in Central Asia& threatens to create lawless, violent zones where terrorism can thrive, and weapons of mass destruction and biological and chemical weapons can proliferate. We learn why key American alliances have frayed and why the Bush administration's pronouncements and actions have ignited the most acrimonious U.S. political battles over foreign policy since the Vietnam War. Mead closes with a rigorous assessment of both Bush and his critics, and describes the urgent steps the United States must take lest casualties in the war on terror mount and the war itself spin out of control. He proposes a new approach to the war that can rebuild domestic and international support for a tough antiterror policy, outlines a new initiative for the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, and recommends sweeping changes for reforming international institutions, including the United Nations Security Council. 'Power, Terror, Peace, and War 'is a clear, concise guide to some of the mo

Abstract

This new volume gives a balanced critical analysis of the Bush Doctrine and its profound effect on global politics and international security. 'The Bush Doctrine and the War on Terrorism' is a collection of fifteen analyses of the global consequences of, and responses to, US foreign policy under George W. Bush. Offering competing interpretations of the origins and effects of Bush's policies, this book provides a detailed examination of the post-September 11 world and America's contested role and influence therein. Examining the key features of the Bush Doctrine; American primacy; preventive war; the war on terrorism and democracy promotion - and their practical application in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the broader Middle East, the chapters provide a comprehensive and timely assessment of Bush's proclaimed commitment to 'end tyranny' worldwide. Eight chapters written by regional specialists consider the particular factors driving divergent responses to Bush's leadership and a further five chapters analyze the consequences of the Bush Doctrine for global security, the global economy, the UN, international law and multilateralism. Providing a balanced and dispassionate assessment of continuity and change in American foreign policy, national/regional responses to it, and the impact of US foreign policy on a set of 'big picture' discrete issues, this book will be essential reading for scholars and researchers of international relations and contemporary history.
