Hook • John Spanier American Foreign Policy Since World War II, celebrating its Twentieth Edition, continues to be the standard for guiding students through the complexities of American foreign policy by showing how recent developments confi rm the book's overarching theme—that there is an American "style" of foreign policy imbued with a distinct sense of national exceptionalism. Using historical context, the book allows students to grasp the functions and frequent dysfunctions of the nation's evolving foreign policy agenda. In this new edition, chapters covering the end of the Cold War have been combined and streamlined, making room for a new chapter that examines the aftershocks of the Arab Spring, political breakdowns in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the rise of the Islamic State. The fi nal chapter considers the revival of power politics in world politics and reconsiders America's distinctive style of foreign policy and its resilience amid such turbulence since World War II.
