Publisher's Synopsis
This volume offers a vigorous defence of the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive intervention and the promotion of democracy abroad, which the author calls 'moral democratic realism'.
The Bush Doctrine and US Grand Strategy strives to connect the Bush Doctrine and the contemporary debate over US grand strategy to the richer, deeper tradition in American diplomacy, drawing upon positive lessons as well as cautionary tales from the past. The book also analyzes the theoretical and practical deficiencies of the three main challengers to the Bush Doctrine in the realm of academic International Relations and the foreign policy world: isolationism, neo- and classical Realism, and liberal multilateralism.
This unique book will be of great interest to all students of the Bush administration, US foreign policy, International Relations and US politics in general.
