Whether your approach to teaching US foreign policy is thematic, historical, case-study oriented, regional, or perhaps a blend of several approaches, Making US Foreign Policy: The Essentials is likely to be a text that you will want to assign as required reading. The text focuses on the most fundamental questions: Who makes foreign policy decisions? How? What accounts for particular decisions? At the same time, discussions of current examples—responses to Russian interference in US elections, the travel ban targeting Muslim-majority countries, the Trump administration’s immigration policies, reactions to the murder of Saudi journalist and US resident Jamal Khashoggi, and many more—make the topic “real.” Clear, concise, and reasonably priced, this is the book that will provide your students with a solid understanding of, and interest in, the process by which foreign policy is made in the current environment and the full range of actors involved.
