Isbn: 9781400042371 - power, terror, peace, and war: america's grand strategy in a world at risk (27 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Good. 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 internationalsupport 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 most pressing issues before us, today and for the foreseeable future. From the Hardcover edition.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. Verschmutzung; Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. This insightful book by a prominent writer on U.S. foreign policy delves into the Bush administration's approach and its broader global strategy. It begins with a historical overview of America's foreign relations, highlighting a generally moral and practical stance. The author critiques the Bush administration's foreign policy, noting that while Bush may be strategically correct, he often falters tactically in uniting a divided nation and coalition against formidable enemies. The aftermath of the 2001 terror attacks has significantly altered the landscape of American foreign policy, revealing the dire challenges posed by despair in the Arab world and the deteriorating conditions in Africa and Central Asia. These crises threaten to foster lawless regions conducive to terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The book also addresses the fraying of key American alliances and the intense domestic political strife surrounding foreign policy, reminiscent of the Vietnam era. The author provides a thorough evaluation of Bush and his critics, urging immediate action to prevent escalating casualties in the war on terror. He advocates for a new strategy to garner support for a robust anti-terror policy, proposes initiatives for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and suggests significant reforms for international institutions like the United Nations Security Council. This work serves as a vital guide to contemporary.…
