Routledge US Foreign Policy in Context - National Ideology

US Foreign Policy in Context: National Ideology from the Founders to the Bush Doctrine offers a deep look into the drivers of American international relations. Part of the Routledge Studies in US Foreign Policy series, this work combines strategic analysis of modern policy with long-term historical discussion. It provides a framework for understanding the debates surrounding current US foreign policy by looking at the long-term trends in American political culture. Instead of acting as a simple history of the Bush administration, this book places the Bush era within the broader context of the US foreign policy tradition. It presents a strong argument for how nationally specific ideological factors drive foreign policy decisions. This text is an important resource for those studying the intersection of history, ideology, and strategic international relations.
