" Some of the nation's most respected scholars of international
affairs examine the debates over U.S. grand strategy in light of
U.S. security policies and interests in tactical regions around the
world. The contributors begin by describing the four grand
strategies currently competing for dominance of U.S. foreign
policy: neo-isolationism argues that the United States should not
become involved in conflicts outside specifically defined national
interests selective engagement proposes that the United States,
despite its position as the world's only remaining superpower,
should limit its involvement in foreign affairs cooperative
security advocates that the United States is not and should not act
as an imperial country primacy asserts that the United States is an
empire and therefore it should conduct an expansive foreign policy.
Focusing on regions that present new challenges to U.S. grand
strategy, such as Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Latin
America, the contributors offer the most current examinations of
U.S. policies and assess the effectiveness of competing strategies
in each region. The Obligation of Empire offers an innovative set
of foreign policy initiatives that explore the tensions between
global agendas and regionalist approaches. Contributors: Andrew J.
Bacevich, Doug Bandow, Dale Davis, Thomas Donnelly, James J. Hentz,
Clifford Kiracofe, Charles Kupchan, Jeffrey Stark, S. Frederick
Starr, and Brantley Womack. James J. Hentz, associate professor of
international studies at the Virginia Military Institute, is the
coeditor of New and Critical Security and Regionalism: Beyond the
Nation State.
