This book challenges the dominant strategic culture and makes the
case for restraint in US grand strategy in the 21st century. Grand
strategy, meaning a state's theory about how it can achieve
national security for itself, is elusive. That is particularly true
in the United States, where the division of federal power and the
lack of direct security threats limit consensus about how to manage
danger. This book seeks to spur more vigorous debate on US grand
strategy. To do so, the first half of the volume assembles the most
recent academic critiques of primacy, the dominant strategic
perspective in the United States today. The contributors challenge
the notion that US national security requires a massive military,
huge defense spending, and frequent military intervention around
the world. The second half of the volume makes the positive case
for a more restrained foreign policy by excavating the historical
roots of restraint in the United States and illustrating how
restraint might work in practice in the Middle East and elsewhere.
The volume concludes with assessments of the political viability of
foreign policy restraint in the United States today. This book will
be of much interest to students of US foreign policy, grand
strategy, national security, and International Relations in
general.
