Abstract

" Impossible de nier le rôle central que jouent les États-Unis, puissance authentiquement mondiale, cœur du système international. Ce pays a façonné le monde dans lequel nous vivons. Et il continuera de le faire des années encore. Donner une vision de ce que fut la politique étrangère américaine depuis la chute du mur de Berlin en essayant de ne négliger aucun épisode, aucun éclairage pouvant aider le lecteur à mieux juger : tel est le défi de cet ouvrage. On y verra notamment que l'Amérique n'est pas vraiment l'"hyperpuissance" que l'on croit. Faiblesses, insuffisances de moyens, contradictions et incohérences ont été nombreuses. C'est cette réalité que nous avons tenté de restituer. " P. M. et J. V.

Abstract

With increasing frequency, US leaders look to achieve their foreign policy goals by marrying diplomacy to military muscle. Since the end of the Cold War, "coercive diplomacy" - the effort to change the behaviour of a target state or group through the threat or limited use of military force - has been used in no fewer than eight cases. But what, exactly, has the concept of coercive diplomacy meant in recent practice? What are coercive diplomacy's objectives? How does it operate? And how well does it work? To answer these questions, Robert Art and Patrick Cronin have enlisted a distinguished cast of scholars and practitioners to investigate the record of the past 12 years. Each author focuses on one of coercive diplomacy's recent targets, a remarkably diverse group ranging from North Korea to Serbia to the Taliban, from warlords to terrorists to regional superpowers. As Robert Art makes clear in a conclusion that will give scholars food for thought and policymakers reason to pause, those results have been mixed at best. Art dissects the uneven performance of coercive diplomacy and explains why it has sometimes worked and why it has more often failed.

Abstract

"Les manquements américains au Rwanda à la veille du génocide de 1994 ne s'analysent pas sans tenir compte du poids des éléments du contexte géostratégique et géopolitique du moment. Ce livre part de la primauté des intérêts diplomatiques en Afrique, qui marqua l'implantation géographique des Américains et des Soviétiques sur le continent, pour montrer que, pendant la guerre froide, ce positionnement déboucha, en Afrique du centre, sur la crise des frontières entre les deux hyperpuissances. En 1986, le dégel Est-Ouest modifia considérablement la cartographie, la structure et la caractérisation des conflits inter et infra-étatiques : le symptôme en est la Somalie des seigneurs de guerre, où s'embourba l'armée américaine en 1993. L'époque offre des opportunités de délitements sociopolitiques : le Rwanda est le syndrome d'une époque nouvelle où de vieux conflits identitaires internes se réveillent. L'opposition ethnicisée des Tutsi et des Hutu, ouverte par la révolution de 1959, gagne en intensité, débouchant sur la guerre civile (1990-1993) et le génocide (1994). La diplomatie américaine est devenue frileuse et cynique face à un monde désormais illisible, aidée en cela par les incertitudes de la géopolitique des Grands Lacs, où le pivot ougandais a pris une importance stratégique majeure. Depuis le génocide, les péripéties de la diplomatie américaine face au président Kagamé et aux soubresauts de la zone sont toujours confuses et floues."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

"President Clinton's time in office coincided with historic global events following the end of the Cold War. The collapse of Communism called for a new US Grand Strategy to address the emerging geopolitical era that brought upheavals in Somalia and the Balkans, economic challenges in Mexico and Europe and the emergence of new entities such as the EU, NAFTA and the WTO. Clinton's handling of these events was crucial to the development of world politics at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Only by understanding Clinton's efforts to address the challenges of the post-Cold War era can we understand the strategies of his immediate successors, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, both of whom inherited and continued Clinton-era policies and practices. James D. Boys sheds new light on the evolution and execution of US Grand Strategy from 1993 to 2001. He explores the manner in which policy was devised and examines the actors responsible for its development, including Bill Clinton, Anthony Lake, Samuel Berger, Warren Christopher, Madeline Albright and Richard Holbrook. He examines the core components of the strategy (National Security, Prosperity Promotion and Democracy Promotion) and how they were implemented, revealing a hitherto unexplored continuity from campaign trail to the White House. Covering the entire duration of Clinton's presidential odyssey, from his 1991 Announcement Speech to his final day in office, the book draws extensively on newly declassified primary materials and interviews by the author with key members of the Clinton administration to reveal for the first time the development and implementation of US Grand Strategy from deep within the West Wing of the Clinton White House."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

The international relations of the Persian Gulf have long been dominated by power politics. Its unrivalled energy resources have historically made this geopolitical arena a vital national security interest for the United States. Historically, Persian Gulf security became synonymous with the maintenance of the political status quo, but with the onset of the War on Terror, US foreign policy has shifted in priority towards combatting the root causes of Islamic extremism. The age-old policy of maintaining stability to ensure a free and secure flow of energy is now recognized as having fuelled Islamic extremism. The new strategic objective for the United States is to see a complete overhaul of the political systems within the region and to develop a culture of political participation to achieve regional security and ensure US homeland security. It is a new agenda wholly in keeping with the messianic Wilsonian values that have long been part of US foreign policy. The purpose of this book is to offer a detailed analysis of US foreign policy towards Iran and Iraq since the onset of the post-Cold War era and to chart its developments and changes right through to the contemporary period of the War on Terror epitomized by the Presidency of George W. Bush. It also provides a detailed examination of US foreign policy towards political Islam to show why and how US strategic interests have so fundamentally changed since the trauma of the 9/11 attacks. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book is sure to prove invaluable for students, policymakers, and the general reader interested in the politics and security of this highly important but volatile region of the Middle East.
