Hot Spots: American Foreign Policy in a Post-Human-Rights World

by Amitai Etzioni

Book Overview

There are important reasons for the distinct yet significant course adjustments in American and Western foreign policy, which currently focuses on Middle Eastern and Chinese "hot spots."

This change in priorities has been accompanied by a curtailed military budget and the end of the two-war doctrine.
