Richard J. Payne

4.9/5 (16756 ratings)

Description:An analysis of the impact of cultural values on the use of force and negotiations in American foreign policy."...The books hardhitting exposition of American cultural myths and prejudices and their reflection on U.S. foreign policy, plus its accesible style, should make it useful in a variety of courses -- from American Civilization to International Relations to Peace Studies -- and to laypersons attentive to public affairs". -- Seyom Brown, Brandeis UniversityWhereas foreign policymaking is generally viewed as a rational, unemotional, and sophisticated process, this analysis of American policies toward the Persian Gulf, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the Bosnian conflict suggests that the underlying and largely unexamined cultural values of most ordinary Americans play a major role in determining the United States' choice of force or negotiation in dealing with international problems. Payne examines the linkage between the United States' tendency to use force in foreign policy and the culture of violence in America. He argues that the costs of resolving conflicts militarily are likely to become more burdensome as economic competitors seek to take advantage of the U.S. tendency to demonstrate resolve primarily through the application of force. Post-Cold War challenges, Payne argues, call for a more nuanced combination of force and diplomacy. He finds hope in the fact that a strong component of American culture favors nonviolence, embraces humanitarianism, and if cultivated can contribute to the peaceful resolution of conflicts.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
