Continuity we can believe in: keep the change."After one of the most controversial and divisive periods in the history of American foreign policy under President George W. Bush, the Obama administration was expected to make changes for the better in US relations with the wider world. Now, international problems confronting Obama appear more intractable, and there seems to be a marked continuity in policies between Obama and his predecessor. Robert Singh argues that Obama's approach of 'strategic engagement' was appropriate for a new era of constrained internationalism, but it has yielded modest results. Obama's search for the pragmatic middle has cost him political support at home and abroad, whilst failing to make decisive gains. Singh suggests by calibrating his foreign policies to the emergence of a 'post-American'world, the president has yet to preside over a renaissance of US global leadership. Ironically,Obama's policies have instead hastened the arrival of a post-American world."--Bloomsbury Publishing.United StatesForeign relations2009-United StatesPolitics and government2009-International relationsUnited StatesForeign relations2009-United StatesPolitics and government2009-International relations.327.730090512Singh Robert802068UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910774901303321Barack Obama's Post-American Foreign Policy1803346UNINA
