This book provides a lively and readable introduction to current
debates over U.S. power and purpose in world affairs. The end of
the Cold War launched a new era in U.S. foreign policy. The United
States entered a period of unprecedented global power, but one also
characterized by new conflicts, challenges, and controversies. The
terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the subsequent U.S. military
operations in Afghanistan and Iraq cast a spotlight on continuing
debates over how the United States should best use its considerable
international power to secure safety for Americans and stability in
the world. These debates involve two crucial questions: Should U.S.
foreign policy focus on securing vital interests that are narrowly
defined, or should the United States seek to spread U.S.
institutions and values to other societies? Should the United
States exercise maximum independence in the exercise of U.S. power
abroad or work principally through multilateral institutions? This
book brings together many different voices to answer these
questions and to add to our understanding of the issues.
