Was George W. Bush the true heir of Woodrow Wilson, the
architect of liberal internationalism? Was the Iraq War a result of
liberal ideas about America's right to promote democracy abroad? In
this timely book, four distinguished scholars of American foreign
policy discuss the relationship between the ideals of Woodrow
Wilson and those of George W. Bush. "The Crisis of American Foreign
Policy" exposes the challenges resulting from Bush's foreign policy
and ponders America's place in the international arena.
Led by John Ikenberry, one of today's foremost foreign policy
thinkers, this provocative collection examines the traditions of
liberal internationalism that have dominated American foreign
policy since the end of World War II. Tony Smith argues that Bush
and the neoconservatives followed Wilson in their commitment to
promoting democracy abroad. Thomas Knock and Anne-Marie Slaughter
disagree and contend that Wilson focused on the building of a
collaborative and rule-centered world order, an idea the Bush
administration actively resisted. The authors ask if the United
States is still capable of leading a cooperative effort to handle
the pressing issues of the new century, or if the country will have
to go it alone, pursuing policies without regard to the interests
of other governments.
Addressing current events in the context of historical
policies, this book considers America's position on the global
stage and what future directions might be possible for the nation
in the post-Bush era.
