Here is the revised edition of a text that has practically become a classic in the field of American foreign policy. Like its predecessor, the new edition of Policy Makers and Critics addresses America's policy abroad…and why it is so difficult for policymakers and the public to agree on our proper and legitimate role in world affairs. With events in South Africa, Libya, the Philippines, and Haiti, among others, the book may be more timely now than ever before.

Charting a New Diplomatic Course: Alternative Approaches to America's Post-Cold War Foreign Policy (Political Traditions in Foreign Policy Series)

Now that the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the defeat of communism has made the "containment" policy--the foundation of U.S. foreign relations for almost a half century--obsolete, policymakers and political scientists alike struggle to decide what new strategy should guide the country's involvement on the international stage. In this pathbreaking work, Cecil V. Crabb, Jr., Leila E. Sarieddine, and Glenn Antizzo identify and analyze six distinct approaches to America's diplomatic course after the Cold War, addressing perhaps the most important question of our time: what should U.S. foreign policy be in the twenty-first century. 
First, the authors examine the familiar doctrine of American isolationism and consider an alternative approach, conservative neo-isolationism, which encourages policymakers to use careful discrimination but decisive action in assuming commitments abroad. Liberal neo-isolationism, a third possible course, resists active interventionist strategies because of the dangers they post to congressional power and America's democratic system. 
At the opposite end of the spectrum are conservative interventionism, the belief that America must maintain a strong military arsenal and engage in "preventative diplomacy"; liberal interventionism, the conviction that America should actively promote the cause of democracy; and pragmatic interventionism, an approach--taken by the Clinton Administration--that relies on a cost/benefit analysis of policy as problems arise. 
Elegantly written and authoritatively researched, CHARTING A NEW DIPLOMATIC COURSE provides a much-needed frame of reference for anyone interested in America's future in international affairs.

This is the first major original study of pragmatism as it relates to foreign policy. The credibility of philosophies of politics and foreign policies rests on the soundness of its intellectual foundations. The public's acceptance of a philosophy depends also on the ability to comprehend its assumptions and tenets. The question raised in this study is whether the public senses instinctively some of the major tenets of pragmatism without grasping the underlying principles on which it rests. If so, how crucial is this weakness in determining the viability of pragmatism as a philosophy on foreign policy?
