Full Description
This comprehensive Research Handbook provides a contemporary review of research on American foreign and security policy, exploring its sources and processes as well as patterns of change and continuity.
Drawing on both theoretical and empirical perspectives, leading scholars examine the external factors that influence US foreign policy, including geopolitics, globalization, great power rivalry, and international organizations. They also investigate the impact of key internal institutions and processes such as the Presidency and the Congress, as well as the effects of interest groups and civil society. The Research Handbook also analyzes the policy tools available to decision makers, with an emphasis on the use and efficacy of sanctions and foreign assistance.
The Research Handbook on American Foreign and Security Policy is an essential resource for scholars and students of international politics, international relations, public policy, and American politics. It is also beneficial for policymakers, practitioners, and think tank intellectuals seeking a holistic understanding of American foreign policy.
