| Summary |
"America's Grand Strategy and World Politics is a collection of essays by Robert J. Art, one of the leading scholars of the realist school of international relations and U.S. foreign policy. The essays represent his most important and influential pieces on America's grand strategy. With characteristic theoretical depth and historical breadth, they cover such topics as the use of force, coercive diplomacy, selective engagement, nuclear deterrence, defense policy, relations with Europe, and the rise of China. Art includes a new forward-looking conclusion consisting of his reflections on the future of American grand strategy."--BOOK JACKET |
