American Grand Strategy from Obama to Trump

Viac o knihe

Exploring the interplay between political elites and imperialism, this book introduces the concept of an "operational code" to analyze shifts in US grand strategy from Obama to Trump. Despite both presidents favoring off-shore balancing, their differing worldviews resulted in distinct approaches to restoring American power and addressing China's rise. The work highlights the evolution of US strategy towards inter-state competition, challenging previous notions of imperialism and emphasizing the need for a revised framework in light of a changing global order.
