AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY
American Foreign Policy Since World War II
Twentieth Edition
Steven W. 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.

DIPLOMACY
Making Diplomacy Work
Intelligent Innovation for the Modern World
Paul Webster Hare
Making Diplomacy Work: Intelligent Innovation for the Modern World takes a fresh look
at the practice of diplomacy, setting it in its contemporary context and analyzing the major
factors that have changed the nature of the way it is conducted. The book is built on the
premise that diplomacy must adapt some of its ritualistic and stale procedures to become
more effective in the modern world, given the growing number of international actors, the
expansion of global non-governmental organizations, and the continuing communications
and information revolution. It provides a thorough examination of current issues from a
diplomatic perspective and offers an extensive array of real-world examples. Paul Webster
Hare brings 30 years of diplomacy experience to this title; it is a must-have volume for any
student of diplomacy.
