Has the existence of nuclear weapons transformed the traditional
relationship between power and its use in international affairs? If
it has, are we then in a period of transition to a new system based
on entirely different principles? How would such a transition
affect the lives of individuals? A number of writers address these
questions in Power and Policy in Transition. The three basic themes
of the book are the nature of power, its use in the pursuit of
national interests, and the susceptibility to change of the
relationship between power and policy. Essays by scholars,
professionals, and laymen grapple therein with the uses and abuses
of power. The first of three sections addresses the changing nature
of power since World War II. The second concentrates on those who
either question or disregard the precepts of realism in
international politics. The third considers how the changing nature
of power in the world challenges American foreign policy.
