To say that the world changed drastically on 9/11 has become a truism
and even a cliché. But the incontestable fact is that a new era for
both the world and US foreign policy began on that infamous day and
the ramifications for international politics have been monumental. In
this book, one of the leading thinkers in international relations,
Robert Jervis, provides us with several snapshots of world politics
over the past few years. Jervis brings his acute analysis of
international politics to bear on several recent developments that
have transformed international politics and American foreign policy
including the War on Terrorism; the Bush Doctrine and its policies of
preventive war and unilateral action; and the promotion of democracy
in the Middle East (including the Iraq War) and around the world.
Taken together, Jervis argues, these policies constitute a blueprint
for American hegemony, if not American empire. All of these events and
policies have taken place against a backdrop equally important, but
less frequently discussed: the fact that most developed nations,
states that have been bitter rivals, now constitute a "security
community" within which war is unthinkable. American Foreign Policy in
a New Era is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the
policies and events that have shaped and are shaping US foreign policy
in a rapidly changing and still very dangerous world.
