America Abroad: Why the Sole Superpower Should Not Pull Back from the World

Autor Stephen G. Brooks, William C. Wohlforth
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mai 2018
A decade and a half of exhausting wars, punishing economic setbacks, and fast-rising rivals has called into question America's fundamental position and purpose in world politics. Will the US continue to be the only superpower in the international system? Should it continue advancing the world-shaping grand strategy it has followed since the Cold War? Or should it focus on internal problems? America Abroad takes stock of these debates and provides a powerful defense of American globalism. Since the end of World War Two, world politics has been shaped by two constants: America's position as the most powerful state, and its strategic choice to be deeply engaged in the world. But if America disengages from the world and reduces its footprint overseas, core US security and economic interests would be jeopardized. While America should remain globally engaged, it has to focus primarily on its core interests or run the risk of overextension. A bracing rejoinder to the critics of American globalism-a more potent force than ever in the Trump era-America Abroad is a powerful reminder that a robust American presence is crucial for maintaining world order.

Recenzii

Brooks and Wohlforth have produced a big, important book that will be essential reading for anyone who cares about what America's role in the world should be."
This thoughtful, well researched, and timely book counters the dangerous strategic myths of our era. Brooks and Wohlforth show that America is indeed still great and that the military, economic, and diplomatic investment Washington continues to make to stabilize the international order is both affordable and wise."
Brooks and Wohlforth correct current calls for retrenchment and isolation with a spirited defense of realistic American internationalism. They analyze the enduring sources of American power and the essential role American influence exerts for peace and prosperity around the world. This book is essential reading for all citizens interested in foreign policy." -Jeremi Suri, author of Liberty's Surest Guardian: American Nation-Building from the Founders to Obama
America Abroad does an impressive job of advancing the debate over U.S. grand strategy. Brooks and Wohlforth provide crystal-clear distinctions in explaining what constitutes their preferred grand strategy-"deep engagement"-and then systematically build a powerful case drawing on the best available theories and evidence. Not everyone will be convinced, but America Abroad raises the bar in this important policy debate."
Brooks and Wohlforth argue that...the United States is the most powerful country in the world, and will remain so for many decades - if not indefinitely. The US has used this power, they argue, to create and sustain an international order that has made it a vastly safer and wealthier country than it would have been otherwise. Though Brooks and Wohlforth didn't intend it as such, their book is a kind of anti-Trump: a direct and devastating riposte to Trump's vision of US foreign policy. And while Trump's ideas come from... well, Trump himself, Brooks and Wohlforth's arguments are grounded in the most up-to-date research on how US foreign policy works."
America Abroad is a carefully argued tract, and worth a careful read.
Brooks and Wohlforth have produced perhaps the most convincing defense of American power since the Cold War ceased.
