Unilateralism and U.S. Foreign Policy: International Perspectives

G. John Ikenberry, David M. Malone, Yuen Foong Khong

Open publisher page 58 citations

Abstract

Has there been a new surge of American unilateralism? Why is the world fearful of a United States that goes it alone? What are the consequences, for both the United States and the world, of a unilateral America? This book seeks to answer these questions. Past discussions and debates among US contributors were sufficiently passionate as to suggest that a parallel investigation, this time by international scholars, about US approaches to multilateralism and unilateralism would prove illuminating.
