Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The empathy that flooded into America from around the globe after 9/11 has faded, and now America is arguably more unpopular that it has ever been. As global anti-Americanism threatens the modern world, Loch Johnson explains how the U.S. has drifted away from the principles that made it a highly regarded global leader at the end of the Second World War. Seven Sins of American Foreign Policy explores the negative worldwide attitudes toward the U.S., identifying how the antipathy runs much deeper than American political leaders' response to the 9/11 attacks. Johnson's compelling insight isolates seven key foreign policy issues that are at the root of America's problematic global image, causing an alarming loss of allies across the globe: Ignorance Veneration of the president Militarism Unilateralism Isolationism Lack of empathy Arrogance

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American foreign policy often looks like a trail of man-made debris and disaster. Of course, the explanations for many poorly-made decisions are rather complex. In this brief and cogent analysis, Houghton shows us that understanding American foreign policy often comes down to recognizing the cognitive limitations of the decision-makers, which affects the foreign policy process. Then there is the nature of the decisions themselves. Quite a few decisions in American foreign policy involve ‘tragic’ choices, where leaders are effectively confronted with a series of progressively bad or uncomfortable options. And it is equally clear that some policies are not the product of any one individual’s preferences, but emerge as a consequence of the way in which complex modern governments with large bureaucracies operate. Written with the interested layperson in mind, as well as students of international affairs, this Citizen’s Guide to American Foreign Policy asks questions like, "Why do presidents so often do things which seem to be directly against the national interests of the United States – not just in retrospect, but even at the time?" "Why do there seem to be so many fiascoes in US foreign policy?" "Why does Congress sometimes tie the hands of the president in foreign affairs?" "Why do presidents seem to respond more to opinion polls or to what’s on CNN and Fox News than they do to the core interests of the United States?" Houghton’s overview helps us see past the partisan in-fighting that too often obscures the central issues in foreign affairs. This is vital, required reading for all readers who wish to better understand America’s involvement in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US Foreign Policy in World History is a survey of US foreign relations and its perceived crusade to spread liberty and democracy in the two hundred years since the American Revolution. David Ryan undertakes a systematic and material analysis of US foreign policy, whilst also explaining the policymakers' grand ideas, ideologies and constructs that have shaped US diplomacy. US Foreign Policy explores these arguments by taking a thematic approach structured around central episodes and ideas in the history of US foreign relations and policy making, including: * The Monroe Doctrine, its philisophical goals and impact * Imperialism and expansionism * Decolonization and self-determination * the Cold War * Third World development * the Soviet 'evil empire', the Sandinistas and the 'rogue' regime of Saddam Hussein * the place of goal for economic integration within foreign affairs.
