5.0 out of 5 stars
new perspectives,
By A Customer
This review is from: Writing Security: United States Foreign Policy and the Politics of Identity (Paperback)
Drawing heavily on Foucault and the philosophy of identity, this book provides a new and logically sound alternative to viewing international relations through the currently dominant neo-realist paradigm. It is well documented and provides a solid explanation of our foreign policy that takes into account such complex social factors as the quest for identity, as opposed to observing foreign policy as simply a political or economic power-play. It is an excellent book with a unique perspective, and should be read by anyone who desires a complete view of how nations relate with each other.

An intelligent political treatise, but somewhat ineffectual,
By A Customer
This review is from: Writing Security: United States Foreign Policy and the Politics of Identity (Paperback)
Campbell does a great job in meta-theory, and his critiques of the realist epistemic are very convincing. However, his reading of US foreign policy is very allegorical and his interpretation, much like other deconstructivist works, has an authority that is difficult to contest. Nevertheless, as a critical viewpoint in how danger is constructed in our society, it definitely gets you thinking.

Leftist, but in a good way.....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Writing Security: United States Foreign Policy and the Politics of Identity (Paperback)
I'm inclined to disagree with the reader form New York - while I can't imagine Campbell ever liking much about the Reagan administration's foreign policy, I nonetheless believe that his work asks questions which are not easily (read: comfortably) answered in american foreign policy.That being said, this is NOT a book for the reader uninitiated to either abstractly theoretical examinations of internation political science, or to the postmodern/poststructuralist philosophy project. All the same, though, a fascinating read for those in the field, or with an interest...
