Continuity we can believe in: keep the change. 330 $a"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. 606 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$x2009- 606 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$x2009- 606 $aInternational relations 615 0$aUnited States$xForeign relations$x2009- 615 0$aUnited States$xPolitics and government$x2009- 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a327.730090512 700 $aSingh$b Robert$0802068 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996214903503316 996 $aBarack Obama's Post-American Foreign Policy$91803346 997 $aUNISA
