American foreign policy is in a state of upheaval. The rise of Donald Trump and his "America First" platform have created more uncertainty about America's role in the world than at any time in recent decades. From the South China Sea, to the Middle East, to the Baltics and Eastern Europe, the geopolitical challenges to U.S. power and influence seem increasingly severe--and America's responses to those challenges seem increasingly unsure. Questions that once had widely accepted answers are now up for debate. What role should the United States play in the world? Can, and should, America continue to pursue an engaged an assertive strategy in global affairs? In this book, a leading scholar of grand strategy helps to make sense of the headlines and the upheaval by providing sharp yet nuanced assessments of the most critical issues in American grand strategy today. Hal Brands asks, and answers, such questions as: Has America really blundered aimlessly in the world since the end of the Cold War, or has its grand strategy actually been mostly sensible and effective? Is America in terminal decline, or can it maintain its edge in a harsher and more competitive environment? Did the Obama administration pursue a policy of disastrous retrenchment, or did it execute a shrewd grand strategy focused on maximizing U.S. power for the long term? Does Donald Trump's presidency mean that American internationalism is dead? What type of grand strategy might America pursue in the age of Trump and after? What would happen if the United States radically pulled back from the world, as many leading academics--and, at certain moments, the current president--have advocated? How much military power does America need in the current international environment? Grappling with these kinds of issues is essential to understanding the state of America's foreign relations today and what path the country might take in the years ahead. At a time when American grand strategy often seems consumed by crisis, this collection of essays provides an invaluable guide to thinking about both the recent past and the future of America's role in the world. 606 $aNational security$zUnited States 606 $aMilitary policy$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01021386 606 $aDiplomatic relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01907412 606 $aNational security$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01033711 606 $aHISTORY$zUnited States$xState & Local$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE$xSecurity (National & International)$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / Executive Branch$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Diplomacy$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Geopolitics$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / National$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Arms Control$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Security (National & International)$2bisacsh 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y21st century 607 $aUnited States$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y2017-2021 615 0$aNational security 615 7$aMilitary policy. 615 7$aDiplomatic relations. 615 7$aNational security. 615 7$aHISTORY$xState & Local$xGeneral. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE$xSecurity (National & International) 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / Executive Branch. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Diplomacy. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Geopolitics. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / National. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Arms Control. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Security (National & International) 676 $a327.73009/05 700 $aBrands$b Hal$f1983-$0946143 712 02$aBrookings Institution, 712 02$aBloomsbury (Firm), 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bMTH 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bIDEBK 801 2$bEBLCP 801 2$bJSTOR 801 2$bN$T 801 2$bP@U 801 2$bMERUC 801 2$bTEFOD 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bU3W 801 2$bIDB 801 2$bYDX 801 2$bLQU 801 2$bINT 801 2$bAFU 801 2$bSFB 801 2$bNHM 801 2$bSNK 801 2$bTFW 801 2$bFAU 801 2$bUKMGB 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bGZM 801 2$bGPRCL 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bTMA 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bSXB 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCL 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959624703321 996 $aAmerican Grand Strategy in the Age of Trump$94453671 997 $aUNINA 999 $cEBook
