Overview

Selected Readings in US Foreign Policy provides students with a selection of curated readings that introduce them to fundamental concepts in foreign policy and also explore themes related to power, protection, national interests, and sovereignty. The book is organized into six chapters. Chapter 1 examines the role of the US in the global context of foreign policy and asks whether we should be the world's gatekeeper or to step back. In Chapter 2, students read about the current state of the world economy and specifically how it has been influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapter 3 discusses the omnipresent threat of nuclear aggression and war, and Chapter 4 investigates the ongoing conflicts and tension between the US and China. Chapter 5 focuses on the current state of affairs in Ukraine and the impact that the war has had on both economic and military power, as well as Russia's tenuous position in foreign affairs due to their recent actions. In the final chapter, students learn about two of the most pressing problems in foreign policy: war and climate change. Each chapter features an introduction, a list of key terms, pre-reading thought questions, and definitions to deepen student learning and encourage critical thought. Selected Readings in US Foreign Policy offers students an enlightening window into contemporary foreign relations. It is an ideal resource for courses in US foreign policy and international relations.
