American Grand Strategy from Obama to Trump

More about the book

Exploring the evolution of U.S. grand strategy from Obama to Trump, the book introduces the concept of an "operational code" to analyze the actions of political elites. It highlights how differing worldviews influenced their approaches to restoring American power and managing China's rise, despite a shared strategy of off-shore balancing. The work argues for a reevaluation of imperialism theory in light of recent geopolitical shifts, emphasizing inter-state competition over the previous focus on rogue regimes, thus contributing to Globalization Theory in a post-American context.
