Unilateralism and U.S. Foreign Policy: International PerspectivesDavid Malone, Yuen Foong Khong Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2003 - 477 pages From the war on terrorism to global warming, from national missile defense to unilateral sanctions, the U.S. has been taken to task for coming on too strong-or for doing too little. This volume explores international reactions to U.S. conduct in world affairs. Authors from around the world address the tensions between unilateralism and multilateralism in U.S. foreign policy. Their careful analysis suggests that the U.S. inclination to go it alone may undermine not only long-term international support for U.S. leadership, but also the sustainability of valuable international institutions. |
