Joseph Lepgold's book examines the substance of and rationale for
the American defense commitment to Europe between 1960 and 1990, a
period marked by change in the U.S. world position, and continues
into the 1990s, in light of the recent changes in Europe. Lepgold
explores how and why political leaders have adapted to this change.
His volume is the analysis of a hegemonic state's foreign policy
adaption. His study probes such questions as: If policymakers do
not adjust basic policy priorities, what other tradeoffs are made?
Do these constitute meaningful patterns? Do commitments resist
change or are they context-dependent and supple? The focus of this
provocative study is on U.S. policy toward Europe, rather than NATO
and its European members. Chapter one of The Declining Hegemon
provides the background for Chapters two and three's analytic
discussion of policy adaption. It examines four policy debates of
the late 1970s and 1980s; these discuss past adaption as well as
future choices. These debates question the decline of U.S. power;
the future U.S. role in Europe--whether any of the 1950 commitments
should be adjusted; and the relationship of foreign policy
commitments and resources--whether they should grow and decline in
tandem. Chapters four through six provide a decade by decade case
study of U.S. policy. The last chapter of Lepgold's timely study
draws conclusions and suggests future implications in light of
recent developments in Europe.
