Publisher's Synopsis
A lively basic text for courses in American Foreign Policy, this text introduces the fundamentals of foreign policy and then examines the real-world conduct of foreign policy. Throughout the text, Johnson emphasizes the shaping of foreign policy through the negotiated sharing of power across the institutions of government while measuring the influence of the human factor on foreign policy decisions. This edition is generously illustrated with photographs, figures, tables, and boxes, and maintains its uniquely student-oriented presentation.
