What are the consequences of retreat and retrenchment in foreign policy? In recent years, America has pulled back from its long-time role of international leadership. In doing so the Obama administration has sought to conciliate adversaries, shown indifference to allies; called upon the international community to step in; proclaimed and then disavowed 'red lines'; and preferred to lead from behind in the face of catastrophic civil war in Syria, ISIS barbarism in the Middle East and North Africa, Russia's predatory behavior in Eastern Europe, and China's muscle-flexing in East Asia. The consequences of this 'realist' experiment have been costly and painful, and it has caused the US to lose credibility with friends and foes. America retains the capacity to lead, but unless it resumes a more robust role, the world is likely to become a more dangerous place, with mounting threats not only to regional stability and international order, but to the national interests of America itself.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'In an age of excessive information, yet precious little contextual knowledge, Robert Lieber’s slim … new book … comes in handy. … Lieber’s profound knowledge of the issues combined with readable prose makes this difficult subject almost easy to grasp.' Juliana Geran Pilon, Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs

'… an important and timely contribution to the ongoing debate regarding the wisdom and likely consequences of US strategic retrenchment. … Lieber’s book makes a vital contribution to contemporary debates on US foreign policy.' Kyle Haynes, H-Net

Book Description

This book explores the consequences of retreat and retrenchment in foreign policy which threaten America's own security.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book if you want to grasp the foreign policy issues the next US president faces
    Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Trying to get a cogent overview -- and understanding -- of the foreign policy issues that the next US president will face, and to weigh which candidate's positions make the most sense, I found this timely book. I don't agree with everything the author says, but reading the book has been a pleasure. Like being given a clear, in-depth seminar on what issues matter and on just why it is important for the US to engage in the world in a way that both owns and uses its vast power and authority wisely. I found the author's analysis particularly thought-provoking when it came to, as the title indicates, the consequences of too much of a retreat from the world, even a retreat intended as a corrective for post-9/11 adventurism. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who, like me, wants to understand how our world has changed, who the players are, and the complex new and old challenges we face.
