The defeat of Donald Trump in November 2020 followed by the attack
on the US Congress on 6th January 2021 represented a tipping point
moment in the history of the American republic. Divided at home and
facing a world sceptical of American claims to be the
'indispensable nation' in world politics, it is clear that the next
few years will be decisive ones for the United States. But how did
the US, which was riding high only 30 years ago, arrive at this
critical point? And will it lead to the fall of what many would
claim has been one of the most successful empires of modern times?
In this volume, Michael Cox, a leading scholar of American foreign
policy, outlines the ways in which five very different American
Presidents - Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump and now Biden - have
addressed the complex legacies left them by their predecessors
while dealing with the longer-term problems of running an empire
under increasing stress. In so doing, he sets out a framework for
thinking critically about US foreign policy since the end of the
Cold War without ever losing sight of the biggest question of all:
can America continue to shape world affairs or is it now facing
long-term decline?
