Challenging US Foreign Policy [electronic resource] : America and the World in the Long Twentieth Century /
Sewell, B.editor.
Lucas, S.editor.
Some categorisations of US power have long governed analyses of American foreign policy - concepts such as 'empire', 'decline', 'superpower', 'the Cold War' and 'the War on Terror' - and have led to a distortion that sees US policy measured by broad labels, rather than on its own terms. This fresh new approach seeks to challenge these terms.
