Routledge History of U.S. Foreign Relations

<p><em>The Routledge History of U.S. Foreign Relations</em> provides a comprehensive view of U.S. diplomacy and foreign affairs from the founding to the present.</p><p>With contributions from recognized experts from around the world this volume unveils America’s long and complicated history on the world stage. It presents the United States’ evolution from a weak player even a European pawn to a global hegemonic leader over the course of two and a half centuries. The contributors offer an expansive vision of U.S. foreign relations—from U.S.-Native American diplomacy in eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the post-9/11 war on terror. They shed new light on well-known events and suggest future paths of research and they capture lesser-known episodes that invite reconsideration of common assumptions about America’s place in the world. Bringing these discussions to a single forum the book provides a strong reference source for scholars and students who seek to understand the broad themes and changing approaches to the field.</p><p>This book will be of interest to students and scholars of U.S. history political science international relations conflict resolution and public policy amongst other areas.</p>
