Description: The United States has been marked by a highly politicized and divisive history of foreign policy-making. Addressing the question of why the nation's leaders find it so difficult to define the national interst, Peter Trubowitz offers a new and compelling conception of American foreign policy and the forces that shape it.

Defining the National Interest exemplifies how interdisciplinary scholarship can yield a deeper understanding of the connections between domestic and international change in an era of globalization.
