Summary: | A comprehensive, systematic, critical overview and analysis of the origins, tools, and constraints of U.S. policy in the Third World. Five themes serve as the guiding principles of the book: the overemphasis in U.S. foreign policy on what has been called the "globalist" perspective; the desirability of greater emphasis on the "regionalist" perspective; the increasing nonviability of military force in achieving long-term U.S. foreign policy objectives; the inability of the U.S. to control Third World nationalism; and the need for greater U.S. tolerance of social change in the Third World. |
