Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Sense in Foreign Policy And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law.' This utterance of Tennyson's-sixty years ago, a glorious prophecy then falling into desuetude through over-quotation and the seeming impossibility of uniting Christians against Moslems, Moslems and Christians against heathenry, scientific seekers after truth against the reactionaries in religion, politics, and political economy - is now once more permissible as a forecast for once again, from the crest of the wave we sight the Promised Land, once more the mists rise, the clouds part, and we behold against the blue of heaven the peaks of Beulah to which we shall some day ascend.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Policy and Power: Two Centuries of American Foreign Relations It is a truism regarding the study of human affairs that the past, present, and future merge in the thinking of any individual. His beliefs about the past, about human experience, will largely determine his estimate of events and trends of the eeting present, and this estimate will not be separate from his vision of the future. It seems obvious, therefore, that accurate knowledge about the past is essential for any rational View of what constitutes the good society, and for any hope of progress toward that goal. Since every situation in the world today has somehow emerged from its antecedents, no world problem can be understood except in the context of its origin and development. If history throws no light on the pathway of the future, the human race is doomed indeed to walk in darkness.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cuban Question and American Policy, in the Light of Common Sense Here the question arises, then, what should the United States do in the case of Cuba The answer to this involves many con siderations bearing upon international obligations, the material and political interests of the country, the claims of humanity, the cause of republican freedom in the world, particularly in this hemisphere, and the progress and future of the great American republic. Should the United States Government interpose to grounds Or, taking a less decisive course, ought it to recognize the Cubans as belligerents l?, The last proposition of conceding belligerent rights would carry probably the first with it, for the American Government is not likely to take any such decided ao tion without feeling assured that it would lead to the independence of Cuba. Nor can there be any doubt of the result should the United States recognize the Cubans as belligerents. That act alone Would do much to secure the independence of Cuba. Though not bound by the mere recognition of belligerent rights to aid the Cubans the American Government would hardly permit itself to be placed in the humiliating position of seeing Cuba subj ugated afterwards.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Why Not Victory: A Fresh Look at American Foreign Policy For the American Conservative, there is no difficulty in identifying the day's overriding political challenge; it is to preserve and extend freedom. If concern for this challenge were not felt by conservatives there would be no need to articulate our position, to argue for it, or to argue against those who disagree. There would be no need for this book, whose purpose is to extend in words the concern felt by one conservative about the forces in the world and our nation which are working against the preservation and extension of freedom. If I were alone in this feeling, one might charge me with being overly obsessed with an unwarranted concern for our freedoms, but there is no sensation of aloneness in this.

He was later outlawed in Britain, jailed in France, and finally labeled an atheist upon his return to America.
Download or read book A World in Disarray written by Richard Haass and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A valuable primer on foreign policy: a primer that concerned citizens of all political persuasions—not to mention the president and his advisers—could benefit from reading." —The New York Times An examination of a world increasingly defined by disorder and a United States unable to shape the world in its image, from the president of the Council on Foreign Relations Things fall apart; the center cannot hold. The rules, policies, and institutions that have guided the world since World War II have largely run their course. Respect for sovereignty alone cannot uphold order in an age defined by global challenges from terrorism and the spread of nuclear weapons to climate change and cyberspace. Meanwhile, great power rivalry is returning. Weak states pose problems just as confounding as strong ones. The United States remains the world’s strongest country, but American foreign policy has at times made matters worse, both by what the U.S. has done and by what it has failed to do. The Middle East is in chaos, Asia is threatened by China’s rise and a reckless North Korea, and Europe, for decades the world’s most stable region, is now anything but. As Richard Haass explains, the election of Donald Trump and the unexpected vote for “Brexit” signals that many in modern democracies reject important aspects of globalization, including borders open to trade and immigrants. In A World in Disarray, Haass argues for an updated global operating system—call it world order 2.0—that reflects the reality that power is widely distributed and that borders count for less. One critical element of this adjustment will be adopting a new approach to sovereignty, one that embraces its obligations and responsibilities as well as its rights and protections. Haass also details how the U.S. should act towards China and Russia, as well as in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. He suggests, too, what the country should do to address its dysfunctional politics, mounting debt, and the lack of agreement on the nature of its relationship with the world. A World in Disarray is a wise examination, one rich in history, of the current world, along with how we got here and what needs doing. Haass shows that the world cannot have stability or prosperity without the United States, but that the United States cannot be a force for global stability and prosperity without its politicians and citizens reaching a new understanding.

Download or read book COMMON SENSE Political Classics Series written by Thomas Paine and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2016-09-21 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "COMMON SENSE (Political Classics Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents Common Sense was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution, and became an immediate sensation. Written in clear and persuasive prose, Thomas Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It. Common Sense made public a persuasive and impassioned case for independence, which before the pamphlet had not yet been given serious intellectual consideration. He connected independence with common dissenting Protestant beliefs as a means to present a distinctly American political identity, structuring Common Sense as if it were a sermon. Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era". Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was an English-American political activist, philosopher, political theorist, and revolutionary. One of the Founding Fathers of the United States, he authored the two most influential pamphlets at the start of the American Revolution, and he inspired the rebels in 1776 to declare independence from Britain. Paine's ideas reflected Enlightenment-era rhetoric of transnational human rights.

Book excerpt: This book provides a much-needed classroom text in international studies that is genuinely interdisciplinary in its approach.

The expert authors also emphasize the continuing importance of area studies within an interdisciplinary and global framework, applying its interdisciplinary framework to substantive issues in seven regions: Europe, East Asia and the Pacific, South and Central Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, Latin America and North America. This new edition has been completely updated and substantially revised with two new chapters on Media, Sovereignty and Cybersecurity and Sustainable Development. This disciplinary and regional combination offers a useful and cohesive framework for teaching students a substantive and comprehensive approach to understanding global issues.
Download or read book US Foreign Policy and the Iran Hostage Crisis written by David Patrick Houghton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-05-21 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did a handful of Iranian students seize the American embassy in Tehran in November 1979? Why did most members of the US government initially believe that the incident would be over quickly? Why did the Carter administration then decide to launch a rescue mission, and why did it fail so spectacularly? US Foreign Policy and the Iran Hostage Crisis examines these puzzles and others, using an analogical reasoning approach to decision-making, a theoretical perspective which highlights the role played by historical analogies in the genesis of foreign policy decisions. Using interviews with key decision-makers on both sides, Houghton provides an analysis of one of the United States' greatest foreign policy disasters, the events of which continue to poison relations between the two states. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of foreign policy analysis and international relations.
Download or read book Special Providence written by Walter Russell Mead and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "God has a special providence for fools, drunks and the United States of America."--Otto von Bismarck America's response to the September 11 attacks spotlighted many of the country's longstanding goals on the world stage: to protect liberty at home, to secure America's economic interests, to spread democracy in totalitarian regimes and to vanquish the enemy utterly. One of America's leading foreign policy thinkers, Walter Russell Mead, argues that these diverse, conflicting impulses have in fact been the key to the U.S.'s success in the world. In a sweeping new synthesis, Mead uncovers four distinct historical patterns in foreign policy, each exemplified by a towering figure from our past. Wilsonians are moral missionaries, making the world safe for democracy by creating international watchdogs like the U.N. Hamiltonians likewise support international engagement, but their goal is to open foreign markets and expand the economy. Populist Jacksonians support a strong military, one that should be used rarely, but then with overwhelming force to bring the enemy to its knees. Jeffersonians, concerned primarily with liberty at home, are suspicious of both big military and large-scale international projects. A striking new vision of America's place in the world, Special Providence transcends stale debates about realists vs. idealists and hawks vs. doves to provide a revolutionary, nuanced, historically-grounded view of American foreign policy.
