Sommario/riassunto

Political scientist Robert G. Kaufman argues that Barack Obama has articulated a clear, consistent national security policy and has pursued it with remarkable fidelity. Yet Kaufman contends that President Obama has imprudently abandoned the muscular internationalism that has marked US foreign policy since the end of World War II.
