Primarily intended to be a supplemental textbook, it explains how the United States became a superpower, examines the formation of the national security establishment, and explores the inter-relationship between foreign policy, defense strategy, and commercial interests. It differs from most of the existing teaching texts because its emphasis is not on narrating the history of US foreign policy or explaining the policymaking process. Instead, the emphasis is on identifying drivers and continuities in US national security interests and policy, and it has a special emphasis on developing a greater understanding of the intertwined nature of foreign and defense policies. The book will conclude by examining how the legacy of the last sixty-five years impacts future developments, the prospect for change, and what US national security policy may look like in the future. 505 0 $a List of illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- From regional power to global superpower -- Organizing for defense -- Civil-military relations -- Drivers, continuities, and challenges of U.S. foreign policy -- American way of warfare -- American way of peace -- Financing the American way -- Conclusion: the future of U.S. foreign policy and defense strategy -- Index -- About the authors. 651 0 $a United States $x Military policy. 650 0 $a National security $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1945-1989. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1989- 648 7 $a Since 1945 $2 fast 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Military policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021386 650 7 $a National security. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033711 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Gvosdev, Nikolas K., $d 1969- $e author. 700 1 $a Owens, Mackubin Thomas, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213021456.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826111228.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=428865526B5711E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
