“James M. Scott has gathered an impressive collection of studies on U. S. foreign policymaking ‘after the end’ of the Cold War. . . . [T]he book is organized well, making excellent use of the editor’s ‘shifting constellations’ image. Scott’s book may be used in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses on American foreign policy and will be useful to analysts and researchers alike.”—Ryan C. Hendrickson, Perspectives on Political Science
“The scholar who wants to understand the ramifications of making policy in this way or who wants an early explanation of Clinton’s foreign policy will find much to commend here.”—John A. Soares, Jr., American Studies International

In the political landscape emerging from the end of the Cold War, making U.S. foreign policy has become more difficult, due in part to less clarity and consensus about threats and interests. In After the End James M. Scott brings together a group of scholars to explore the changing international situation since 1991 and to examine the characteristics and patterns of policy making that are emerging in response to a post–Cold War world.
These essays examine the recent efforts of U.S. policymakers to recast the roles, interests, and purposes of the United States both at home and abroad in a political environment where policy making has become increasingly decentralized and democratized. The contributors suggest that foreign policy leadership has shifted from White House and executive branch dominance to an expanded group of actors that includes the president, Congress, the foreign policy bureaucracy, interest groups, the media, and the public. The volume includes case studies that focus on China, Russia, Bosnia, Somalia, democracy promotion, foreign aid, and NAFTA. Together, these chapters describe how policy making after 1991 compares to that of other periods and suggest how foreign policy will develop in the future.
This collection provides a broad, balanced evaluation of U.S. foreign policy making in the post–Cold War setting for scholars, teachers, and students of U.S. foreign policy, political science, history, and international studies.
