Why should the United States cling to military alliances
established during the Cold War when the circumstances are now
fundamentally different? In The End of Alliances, Rajan Menon
argues that our alliances in Europe and Asia have become irrelevant
to the challenges we face today. The United States must be actively
involved beyond its borders, but by relying on coalitions whose
membership varies depending on the issue at hand. While a strategy
that ceases to rely on alliances will mark a dramatic shift in
American foreign policy, he reminds us that states routinely
reassess and reorient their strategies. The United States, which
studiously avoided alliances for much of its history only to
embrace them during the Cold War, is no exception. The End of
Alliances predicts that the coming change in American strategy will
force our traditional allies to rethink their choices and create
new patterns in world politics. The controversial argument advanced
by Menon will provoke debate among foreign policy specialists and
the general public.
