Review:

"I certainly would adopt American Foreign Policy for my course again. It is the best text that I have found for the interdisciplinary audience, and for linking some of the theoretical work I present in class to the policy discussions. The new additions seem to only enhance the quality of the book."--Navin Bapat, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

"Yes, I would absolutely adopt this text and recommend it to colleagues. It is ideal for a course structured around different levels of analysis in accounting for foreign policy decision-making. In its combination of theoretical diversity and attention to important historical case studies, it is head and shoulders above the competition."--Kyle Lascurettes, The George Washington University

"Ikenberry and Trubowitz have assembled a first-rate set of essays that are sure to help students understand how the United States interacts with the world around it. American Foreign Policy presents a wide array of perspectives and covers many of the important issues that concern policymakers in Washington. It is an ideal teaching device."--John J. Mearsheimer, University of Chicago
