[Utopia · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book has several authors with a daring and interesting view of US's foreign policy and changed my perception of it and particularly about why and how would the US's foreign policy become in the next decade.

But most of them are very conventional and we learn nothing very new from them. In addition, there are a lot of repetitions between different authors who all try to present the same theory in a different way of writing. Thus, it can be very boring. Also, I think each author has a quota of how much they can write and so, sometimes they do not explain very clearly everything and it can be a bit frustrating.

However, I recommend this book for all students studying international relations in order to get a general view of US's foreign policy!!!
