Now in a fully updated edition that goes through the Trump
administration and the election and formative period of the Biden
administration, this compact and accessible introduction offers a
historical perspective on the evolution of U.S. foreign policy from
the founding of the country to the present. Joyce P. Kaufman
provides students and general readers with a clear and concise
understanding of key foreign-policy decisions and why they were
made. She identifies the major themes that have guided foreign
policy and the reasons that the United States pursued certain
policies in the context of specific periods in the nation's
history. Kaufman focuses on the major actors involved in the making
of foreign policy and the changing relationships among them. She
also explains the major theoretical perspectives within
international relations and contextualizes key foreign policy
decisions as they fit these frameworks. This edition puts a
particular focus on the creation of Cold War foreign policy, and
why the end of the Cold War has continued to be such a challenge to
the United States. Kaufman concludes with a look at the threat that
the United States is facing and will continue to face, including
existential threats such as climate change and disease, and how
Americans can be prepared to face them.
