Simply excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Foreign Policy (Paperback)
This is user- and student-friendly, but nevertheless comprehensive and insightful exposition of how US foreign policy is made, what influences it, and what patterns can be discerned. Hence an excellent students text, but also good to check facts on the US policy process for anyone dealing with international affairs.(Dr) Gerd Nonneman, Lancaster University

2.0 out of 5 stars
Mediocre text tangled in webs of double-talk.,
By D. Michael "Cloistered Biologist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: American Foreign Policy: Patterns and Process (Paperback)
To start, I have read every page of this text from front to back. Although I am not a student of the political sciences, as a Molecular Biologist I have read more than my fair share of dry texts; this book however, takes the cake.
This book turns an exciting subject into a tedious examination of 'trends' without conclusions. More dry than engaging, the authors consistently contradict themselves, even in the space of two pages. Wittkopf et al's claim that American foreign policy arises from 'Funnel of Casuality' early on within the text and wallow in 'doubletalk' throughout the rest of the book, rarely if ever committing themselves to a strong conclusion. As a student, I am appalled by the authors refusal to provide key lessons and distinct arguments, if I needed a discussion that raised multiple difficult points and then provided 'wishy-washy' analysis I would have looked to one of the many friendly but inept potheads that typically surrounded my college campus. |
