This book presents a novel analysis of how US grand strategy has
evolved from the end of the Cold War to the present, offering an
integrated analysis of both continuity and change. The post-Cold
War American grand strategy has continued to be oriented to
securing an 'open door' to US capital around the globe. This book
will show that the three different administrations that have been
in office in the post-Cold War era have pursued this goal with
varying means: from Clinton's promotion of neoliberal globalization
to Bush's 'war on terror' and Obama's search to maintain US primacy
in the face of a declining economy and a rising Asia. In seeking to
make sense of both these strong continuities and these significant
variations the book takes as its point of departure the social
sources of grand strategy (making), with the aim to relate state
(public) power to social (private) power. While developing its own
theoretical framework to make sense of the evolution of US grand
strategy, it offers a rich and rigorous empirical analysis based on
extensive primary data that have been collected over the past
years. It draws on a unique data-set that consists of extensive
biographical data of 30 cabinet members and other senior foreign
policy officials of each of the past three administrations of
Clinton, G.W. Bush and Obama. This book is of great use to
specialists in International Relations - within International
Political Economy, International Security and Foreign Policy
Analysis, as well as students of US Politics.
