The End of Alliances

Zusatztext "Menon shows that the role of traditional alliances is fated to diminish even if America shifts to a more restrained global stance. Menon's astute analysis is a warning against relying on these allies to be the linchpin of a new, post-Bush foreign policy."--Jack Snyder, Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Relations, Columbia University Informationen zum Autor Rajan Menon is Monroe J. Rathbone Professor of International Relations at Lehigh University and a Fellow at the New America Foundation. Klappentext In The End of Alliances, Menon offers a bold new vision of the future of American--and global--foreign affairs, one that does not include familiar, contractual agreements amongst states. Yet, contrary to prevailing wisdom, Menon argues, a world without US-led alliances will not be marked by American isolationism, a divorce between Europe and America, or total global upheaval. Instead, in place of rigid military pacts, countries will enter into contingent alignments and specific coalitions created for particular ends. Zusammenfassung Makes the bold claim that alliances in Europe and Asia have become irrelevant to the challenges the United States faces and are slowly dissolving as a result. This work predicts that the coming change in American strategy will force our traditional allies to rethink their choices and create new patterns in world politics.
