DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The increased military power of China since the close of the Cold War has forced the United States to reconsider its security policy toward Taiwan. In this volume, Martin Lasater explores the many new factors that are now influencing U.S. calculations of one of its more enduring and important security interests in Asia. He considers such security concerns as the reduction of U.S. military forces in the western Pacific, a new arms race in the Taiwan Strait, Sino-American tensions over human rights and arms proliferation issues, increased calls for Taiwan's independence, the Clinton administration's concentration on domestic issues, and the shifting balance of power in the Asia Pacific—especially the PRC's growing influence. Considering the difficult issues President Clinton must weigh, Lasater provides a timely analysis of Taiwan's security in the 1990s within the broader context of Sino-American relations.

In 1992, the Cold War was over, and the nation was at peace and focused on domestic issues. Despite this temporary tranquility, Clinton would soon be faced with a barrage of crises, including flare-ups of unrest in the Middle East, ethnic conflict in Yugoslavia, uneasy relations with Japan and China, persistent trouble in the Persian Gulf, the dissolution of the USSR, and disastrous situations in Somalia and Haiti. In this comprehensive and balanced examination of Clinton's foreign policy—the first such book to cover all the global focal points of his administration to date—William G. Hyland brilliantly shows the effects of combining this confusion with Clinton's unique personality characteristics. His first term was marked, in the author's analysis, by murky policy, unrealistic goals, and the mishandling of several crises. By the end of that term he learned some hard lessons, was able to alter his pattern of response, and reversed himself on some major aspects of foreign policy—all to benefit, in the author's view, the country and the world as a whole.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Bill Clinton came to the presidency during the first moments of the post-Cold War era, when the United States and the international system were at a crossroads. Faced with the choice of either retreating from the world or acting as "world policeman," Clinton chose a path of unabashed "practical internationalism." His foreign policy embraced globalization, free trade and the promotion of democracy abroad, while acknowledging American limits.Scholarly and pubic interest in Clinton's foreign policy have peaked recently, as the shape of the Trump administration's foreign policy has unfolded. Today's populist nationalists might be seen as reacting to the Clinton agenda: They have attacked free trade and internationalism as a "bad deal" for US workers, striking out not only at trade agreements, but at immigration, refugee acceptance, US intervention, and international institutions such as the International Criminal Court and the Kyoto Protocol. Today, advocates of free trade and international engagement warn that the United States must continue to take a leadership role in steering the international agreements and institutions that it helped to create, as a way of advancing American prosperity and security.This is the reason the Clinton administration's foreign policy legacy continues to be important today. To understand "America First," we must first understand the underpinnings of globalization and the policy of practical internationalism. During Clinton's time in office and not long after, many scholars struggled to find coherence to the administration's foreign policy legacy, despite the administration's continued assertions of an overarching strategy. Today, it is more apparent than ever that 1) Clinton's foreign policy had a cohesive theme, 2) his internationalism sowed the seeds of our current "America First" brand of populism, and 3) Clinton's successes and failures hold important lessons for policymakers today.The introduction to this edited volume explores these themes, and the remainder of the book's seventeen chapters, authored by scholars of comparative politics, international relations and history, expand on particular policies. With the Trump administration midterm assessments coming in Fall 2018 and Winter 2019, there will be heightened interest in the background of such issues as engagement with North Korea; terrorism; nuclear proliferation; relations with China, India, and Japan; peacemaking in Northern Ireland; cooperation with NATO and the UN; and the difficulty of pursuing peace in the Middle East.

Now the acclaimed author of Rise of the Vulcans offers a definitive, even-handed account of the messier realities they've faced in implementing their policies and the challenges they will face going into the second term. In The Obamians, prizewinning author and journalist James Mann tells the compelling story of the administration's struggle to enact a coherent and effective set of policies in a time of global turmoil. At the heart of this struggle are the generational conflicts between the Democratic establishment--including Robert Gates, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden--and Obama and his inner circle of largely unknown, remarkably youthful advisers, who came of age after the Cold War had ended. Written by a proven master at elucidating political underpinnings even to the politicians themselves, The Obamians is a pivotal reckoning of this historic president and his inner circle, and of how their policies may or may not continue to shape America and the world. This edition includes a new afterword by the author on how the Obamians' foreign policy affected the 2012 election and what that means for the future.

First, it analyzes the political and economic forces that contributed to Clinton's success and comments on the unique aspects of the 1992 campaign. Second the book attempts to forecast what type of president Clinton will be based on his role models for the jobóRoosevelt, Kennedy and Carteróand his personal characteristics defined by his experience as Governor of Arkansas. It then offers a view of how Washington D.C. will change in terms of business transactions, who the major players will be, and how the relations between the three branches of government will change. The authors outline Clinton's basic vision that will influence his administration's policies, focusing on the actual policy changes that are anticipated.
