The Crisis of American Foreign Policy The Effects of a Divided America

In The Crisis of American Foreign Policy, noted textbook author Howard J. Wiarda argues that the foreign policy of the United States reflects the divisions and dysfunctions we see in our domestic culture and society. This text tackles such hot issues as ethnocentrism (our inability to understand other countries) in foreign policy as well as U.S. efforts to extend democracy, human rights, and civil society in other countries. Key areas covered include Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Wiarda is a leading scholar in the field and has long experience in Washington policy-making. This is a concise, well-written, well-organized, challenging, and provocative textbook on American foreign policy that students and professors are sure to appreciate.
