Abstract

Basically a specialist on Africa, Ohaegbulam introduces US foreign policy, emphasizing how policy making is accomplished in the complex domestic and external settings. He surveys the development and characteristic patterns, stressing the central themes and global experience, especially since World War II. He finds that no grand strategy has replaced the cold war framework, and that a number of approaches are contending for dominance. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
