The post-Cold War diplomacy of the United States evolved in stages
that reflected changes in the international system. Through the
1990s, the nation's foreign affairs were marked by an evolution
away from the post-World War II focus on security and superpower
competition to a more multifaceted and nuanced series of policies
that included economic concerns, social and cultural issues, and
environmental matters. However, an escalating series of terrorist
attacks that culminated in the 11 September 2001 strikes on New
York and Washington, D.C. led to the reemergence of security as the
main foreign policy issue for the United States. The subsequent
American-led "war on terror" mirrored the Cold War in its goals,
and the administration of President George W. Bush endeavored to
build a multinational counterterrorism coalition that paralleled
the Western alliance of the bipolar era. The A to Z of U.S.
Diplomacy Since the Cold War is a concise overview of the main
figures, conflicts, events, and policies of the United States in
the post-Cold War era. The study explores the main elements of U.S.
foreign policy and the regional and international reaction to
American policies from the presidency of George H. W. Bush to that
of George W. Bush. Through its entries, the book analyzes the
underlying themes of U.S. diplomacy and the new policies formulated
and implemented in response to broad changes in global politics.
The book includes a chronology of events from 1991 to 2007, an
introduction that highlights important themes of the era,
cross-referenced entries on significant topics, a detailed
bibliography, and appendixes of major documents. The work is ideal
for both public and academic libraries, the general public, or the
specialist looking for a reference tool in this area.
