- Summary
- The United States is still searching for a strategy to replace containment as the guiding principle for U.S. foreign policy. The Cold War ended years ago, but the United States has yet to reach a consensus on a coherent approach to the world of the 1990s and beyond. The essays in America's Strategic Choices present contending perspectives on the future of U.S. grand strategy. Several authors argue that the time has come for the United States to reduce its global role. Others make the case for continued U.S. diplomatic and military engagement in world affairs. The options for U.S. policy include primacy, cooperative security, selective engagement, and retrenchment. The essays in this volume analyze each of these choices and the authors spell out what is at stake in the debate.
