[SR: 15921998], Hardcover, [EAN: 9781588264312], Lynne Rienner Pub, Lynne Rienner Pub, Book, [PU: Lynne Rienner Pub], Lynne Rienner Pub, While avoiding the mistake of seeing George W. Bush's foreign policy as some fundamental aberration from earlier practices, Gurtov (political science and international studies, Portland State U.) nevertheless offers a highly critical account of his administration's foreign policy thinking and practice from 2001 to the middle of 2005, particularly focusing on the neoconservatives and their dangerous and foolhardy plans to re-make the Middle East. Although the Bush administration doesn't represent a complete break with the past in this treatment, Gurtov does note that the there are differences in the current international and domestic contexts of US unilateralism: a diffuse enemy, the absence of a counterweight to US power, the lack of domestic opposition, and the single mindedness and moral certainty with which the Bush administration is managing US primacy.

With its emphasis on unilateralism, preemptive attack, and regime change, US foreign policy under George W Bush continues the longstanding US quest for primacy - but with some radical departures from previous approaches. Superpower on Crusade offers a critical exploration of the origins and implementation of the Bush Doctrine. Gurtov first traces the sources of US missionary and expansionist tendencies and highlights their particular manifestations in the Bush administration. Then turning to the war on Iraq, he focuses on real vs. stated objectives, the Pentagon's primacy in shaping security policy, and the roles of Congress, the UN, and US allies. Subsequent chapters examine US policy with regard to such issues as nuclear proliferation, international law, development assistance, the environment, and human rights. Assessing the costs of the Bush Doctrine at home and abroad, Superpower on Crusade presents a concise critique of US foreign policy intended to stimulate debate in the classroom, as well as among scholars. diplomacy,executive branch,government,international and world politics,international relations,national and international security,political science,politics and government,politics and social sciences,social sciences National & International Security, Rienner Publishers, Lynne<
