President Clinton's time in office coincided with historic global
events following the end of the Cold War. The collapse of Communism
called for a new US Grand Strategy to address the emerging
geopolitical era that brought upheavals in Somalia and the Balkans,
economic challenges in Mexico and Europe and the emergence of new
entities such as the EU, NAFTA and the WTO. Clinton's handling of
these events was crucial to the development of world politics at
the dawn of the twenty-first century. Only by understanding
Clinton's efforts to address the challenges of the post-Cold War
era can we understand the strategies of his immediate successors,
George W. Bush and Barack Obama, both of whom inherited and
continued Clinton-era policies and practices. James D. Boys sheds
new light on the evolution and execution of US Grand Strategy from
1993 to 2001. He explores the manner in which policy was devised
and examines the actors responsible for its development, including
Bill Clinton, Anthony Lake, Samuel Berger, Warren Christopher,
Madeline Albright and Richard Holbrook. He examines the core
components of the strategy (National Security, Prosperity Promotion
and Democracy Promotion) and how they were implemented, revealing a
hitherto unexplored continuity from campaign trail to the White
House. Covering the entire duration of Clinton's presidential
odyssey, from his 1991 Announcement Speech to his final day in
office, the book draws extensively on newly declassified primary
materials and interviews by the author with key members of the
Clinton administration to reveal for the first time the development
and implementation of US Grand Strategy from deep within the West
Wing of the Clinton White House.
