In a critical overview of U.S. foreign policy since the end of the
Cold War, P. Edward Haley draws surprising connections between key
elements of George W. Bush's foreign policy and those of his
predecessor, Bill Clinton. Haley further shows how these elements
in both cases produced disastrous results, and he proposes an
alternative that is constructive and tolerant but not amorally
"realistic." Specifically, Strategies of Dominance faults reliance
on American exceptionalism, treatment of globalization and global
democratization as vital to security, a misreading of American
primacy, expectation of bandwagoning by allies, and reliance on
economic sanctions and coercive diplomacy. Haley argues that these
characteristics have replaced a more tolerant Cold War--era program
in which such attitudes were tempered by recognition of a bipolar
world, a nuclear standoff, and a global zero-sum competition for
allies and influence.
This is the only book covering the foreign policies of all three
post--Cold War presidents -- George H. W. Bush, William J. Clinton,
and George W. Bush. And although a number of books have criticized
the foreign policy of George W. Bush, no other shows how its
post--Cold War underpinnings are shared with Clinton's and to a
more limited degree with those of his father.
