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 makes
the bold claim that our alliances in Europe and Asia have become
irrelevant to the challenges the United States faces today and are
slowly dissolving as a result.
The dissolution of our alliances will not, Menon emphasizes,
culminate in isolationism. The United States will, and must, be
actively involved beyond its borders, but by relying on contingent
alignments and on coalitions whose membership will vary depending
on the issue at hand. America, he reminds us, engaged the world in
a variety of ways for more than 150 years before entering into
formal military alliances after World War II. While a strategy that
ceases to rely on alliances will mark a dramatic shift in American
foreign policy, 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.
