The collapse of Communism called for a new US Grand Strategy to address the emerging geopolitical era that brought upheavals in Somalia and the Balkans, economic challenges in Mexico and Europe and the emergence of new entities such as the EU, NAFTA and the WTO. Clinton's handling of these events was crucial to the development of world politics at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Only by understanding Clinton's efforts to address the challenges of the post-Cold War era can we understand the strategies of his immediate successors, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, both of whom inherited and continued Clinton-era policies and practices. James D. Boys sheds new light on the evolution and execution of US Grand Strategy from 1993 to 2001. He explores the manner in which policy was devised and examines the actors responsible for its development, including Bill Clinton, Anthony Lake, Samuel Berger, Warren Christopher, Madeline Albright and Richard Holbrook. He examines the core components of the strategy (National Security, Prosperity Promotion and Democracy Promotion) and how they were implemented, revealing a hitherto unexplored continuity from campaign trail to the White House. Covering the entire duration of Clinton's presidential odyssey, from his 1991 Announcement Speech to his final day in office, the book draws extensively on newly declassified primary materials and interviews by the author with key members of the Clinton administration to reveal for the first time the development and implementation of US Grand Strategy from deep within the West Wing of the Clinton White House"--Back cover. 600 10 $a Clinton, Bill, $d 1946- 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1993-2001. 650 0 $a Post-communism. 650 0 $a World politics $y 1989- 600 17 $a Clinton, Bill, $d 1946- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00088204 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Post-communism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01072730 650 7 $a World politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01181381 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a Since 1989 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211025115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FA82687008EC11E5A7E811F2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
