Description

The United States has been marked by a highly politicized and divisive history of foreign policy-making.

This study asks why the nation's leaders find it so difficult to define the national interest.

Peter Trubowitz offers a conception of American foreign policy and the domestic geopolitical forces that shape and animate it.

Foreign policy conflict, he argues, is grounded in America's regional diversity.

The uneven nature of America's integration into the world economy has made regionalism a potent force shaping the national interest.

As Trubowitz shows, politicians from different parts of the country have consistently sought to equate their region's interests with that of the nation.

Domestic conflict over how to define the "national interest" is the result.

Challenging dominant accounts of American foreign policy-making, this text exemplifies how interdisciplinary scholarship can yield a deeper understanding of the connections between domestic and international change in an era of globalization.
