Vasquez, J A

Presenting 10 essays by well-known scholars, this volume evaluates recent American foreign policy in the light of existing theory and research and also demonstrates how foreign policy evaluation can and should be done. The contributors use a variety of techniques including data analysis and case studies to assess U.S. defense policy, hard-line stances toward the Soviet Union, the question of limited nuclear war, and the use of peacekeeping troops in the Middle East. The last part of the book addresses how the scientific study of foreign policy can be employed to evaluate foreign policy systematically.
