American Grand Strategy and National Security

En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the grand strategic behavior of the United States from its founding to the Trump administration, the book utilizes a neoclassical realist framework. It explores how domestic political cultures—Hamiltonian, Jeffersonian, Jacksonian, and Wilsonian—shape the interpretation of systemic changes and influence grand strategy decisions. By analyzing these distinct political cultures, the text reveals how they act as filters for policymakers, affecting the likelihood of certain strategic choices in the pursuit of national security throughout history.
