United States foreign policy politics beyond the water's edge /

Synopsis

A concise text designed to be accessible to students by avoiding complicated jargon, UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY: POLITICS BEYOND THE WATER'S EDGE builds on the research, showing the process of policymaking and its outcomes in a reciprocal relationship. In addition, the author argues that politics is involved in the process intricately, and that this has been the case from World War II to the present. By using factual materials and anecdotes, and by avoiding highly theoretical discussions, students are engaged to learn how foreign policy is shaped and executed in a constantly changing environment and how it is applied to functional problems and different geographical regions.
