U.S. foreign policy in the twenty-first century

About this book

In U.S. Foreign Policy in the Twenty-First Century, Robert J. Myers gives coherent and pointed statement to a complex history of political theory involving idealism and its theoretical counterpart, realism. He sets out to restate the possible outcomes of the tension between idealist and realist expectations "so that there may be a broader consensus on what one can both expect and accept about how the political world works in normal times and in times of crisis."
