More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"The book does an excellent job from the origins of the U. S. to the Cold War .and of illustrating the varied and interactive 'inputs' in the U. S. foreign policy process."
Product Description
Now in its Seventh Edition, AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY has been thoroughly revised and updated to include several completely new sections, reflecting the most recent developments and scholarship related to American foreign policy. This Seventh Edition provides considerable attention to how the Bush administration sought to reshape national strategy, policies and structures; its domestic and international actions taken in the name of national security, and the immediate as well as possible long-term consequences of these developments. As in past editions, the Seventh Edition retains the book's proven and pedagogically valuable analytical framework. Harnessing the conceptual, theoretical, and historical components that facilitate an analysis of American foreign policy, this text maintains five sources-international, societal, governmental, role, and individual-that collectively influence decisions about foreign policy goals, and the means chosen to realize them. Offering readers extraordinary breadth, thoughtful discussion, and in-depth of coverage of past, present, and future American foreign policy, AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY will equip readers with a solid and well-informed understanding of the full range of domestic and global sources of influence that will challenge American foreign policy-makers in the twenty-first century.

Essential !
16 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
There are a fair number of books on this subject, but for my money only 2 are really worth getting: Bruce Jentleson's "American Foreign Policy" and this text.
I am a professor at an I.R. Department of a university, so naturally I am always on the look out for any new and good book on US foreign policy, as that is one of the courses that I usually teach. This comprehensive text is really a blessing for anyone engaged in either teaching the subject or being a student of it.
The book is an indepth study of US foreign policy of the last 200 years or so, with clear emphasis placed on the more recent area, namely the Cold War and beyond. At 670 pages it is certainly not short, but so far I can only say that just about everything is relevant to the subject. The main authors of this text Wittkopf and Kegley can certainly be considered veterans of this subject. Their approach is not only pervasive but also insightful. There are numerous examples and the sources explored are very relevant and important, as far as I could tell. The authors go through all the different aspects of US foreign policy and have a chapter on decision making as well. Models and theories are also briefly discussed, although this is not a theory book.
To make a long story short, this is certainly a text book worth having for the student of US foreign policy and I.R.

Sufficient for our needs.
23 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am usually not impressed with textbooks; since this class is pretty much taught and based off of this book, it is sufficient for our needs. Though I cannot say that I have learned much from the material or how it is presented.
