This volume establishes Amitai Etzioni's communitarian approach to
international relations as a distinct school of American foreign
policy thought. Nikolas K. Gvosdev systematically evaluates
Etzioni's ideas, tracing their origins during the Cold War and
their relevance to current challenges in Asia and the Middle East,
and considering their strengths and weaknesses. Etzioni agrees with
liberal internationalists who believe that traditional notions of
state sovereignty are eroding and that a new set of global norms is
required. However, he argues against the imposition of Western
policies on the rest of the world, which he sees as a recipe for
conflict which the United States cannot afford. He warns against
the post-Cold War triumphalism, arguing that it undercuts efforts
to find necessary common ground with both Russia and China. An
enduring and stable global architecture cannot be maintained unless
it appeals to the interests of a broad community of nations. The
trust that is needed for forming closer associations between
nations and to have a productive dialogue on human rights can only
come about through the voluntary coordination of states forced to
combat an increasing array of transnational threats.
